Album Notes & Community Reviews
Driven by an unstoppable horn section and incredibly kinetic conga rhythms, this extended funk masterpiece exuded profound social optimism despite the era's civil unrest. The track effectively elevated the sophistication of contemporary soul music through its complex orchestral arrangements and highly conscious, empowering lyricism.
