I heard this song last week and it stopped me mid stretch in my Zumba class. I was mesmerized and couldn’t get it out of my head. So I immediately went home, pressed play and it has been on repeat, literally, since then. There’s so much to appreciate about this tune: The chord progression (8 bars of heaven), the overall production and instrumentation, the organ that sighs in the background, the tasty groove, the warm, round tone of the bass and guitar, the kick drum that hits the spot everytime, Al sharing his heart…. This is soul music in it’s purest form. It’s deliciously simple, sparse and simmers the whole time. No matter how many times I’ve heard this tune I always lose it at the 3:18 minute mark when the drummer lays down the 16th’s on the hi hats. No joke, and that my friends is why I LOVE MUSIC.
Enjoy!
