It is incredible, something off, slightly discordant about it but i just want to keep listening to it on loop. This edit popped up on my Discover one day and was the track that put me onto C Duncan. Some of his harmonies are out of this world.
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.
ok - using the method i described in my first rec i was reconnected with this song and holy shittttttt go listen now invigorate your morning stevie the greatest
it‘s peak AG Cook, it amps up my 3 year old on the drive to daycare and somehow my 10-month-old can sleep through it. The perfect album for this specific moment.
