Always the best from you. A constant in our Friday/Saturday night playlist. Shoutout to Mel Taylor!!! wherever he is for channeling this so well many a night for our anytime dancing pleasure at Walley's in Bergenfield NJ. It's more in line with Herbie's Chameleon or Gil Scott-Heron's Angel Dust or Street Life (Crusaders) than any "smooth jazz" which is considered a slight. Did it crossover? Yes, like Hubbard's Red Clay. Also, the entire album's a keeper from front to back not a Creed Taylor prod but of that ilk. Slick, not smooth! And that guitar lick is so good while not too sticky. I was given a rap track to release on my label with a sample and still have it for the 109 Dance Comp that never came out with the DJ from Deee-lite and Ru Paul's first track (which I put on my Do the Drag pod stack Star Booty anyone?) So just maybe on Live! From the Vault when the hard ravers and late hip hoppers finally get with it. But I was not happy stealing this one and probably would have left it out. My Friday workday last day of the week remote ramble... please forgive me for my sins. (Junior Wells -Vietcong Blues another pod stack)

Haha not even a sin! Thanks for checking in Steve :)
I'm one of his biggest fans, so I appreciate this tribute.
Thanks David!
