For a pro singer in that era, his voice isn't amazing, so it's schmeared with tape doubling & room verb, but he had the absolute best arrangements. Ass shakers abound - "Lollipop" is incredible, & it's no wonder Daft Punk lifted "Cola Bottle Baby" when Sony gave them carte blanche to the corporate back catalogue.

Sweet Dream Baby by Roy Orbison

It's a real bop, amazing voice, and the arrangements are great. Really influenced a lot of people that changed music forever.

Fripp & Eno - Evensong (Evening Star, 1975)

Probably my favorite song. Sampled by Jay Electronica on “Ezekiel’s Wheel”.

Do i do by stevie wonder

I think this is genuinely the best arranged track of all time. Insane horn parts. One of the best basslines of all time. Some of the best drumming you’ve ever heard. Stevie Wonder harmonica solo. Dizzy Gillespie trumpet solo. Extended outro where he individually shouts out the session musicians on the track and they each have time to shine. Stevie Wonder is hyped out of his mind for the entire duration and seems so authentically excited about his song. It’s ten and half minutes long and I wish it was double that.
