    Thanks Robbie! That's my buddy Mike (Ebony Z. Ivory), he's a keyboard wiz. Sometimes I listen to what he plays and just laugh it's so good.

    I like it!  It's funky and has some cool changes.   And the arrangement is really nice.   And yes... all of the keys are played really well.    But the vocals are well done too!    And is that an octave on the guitar solo, in a funk tune?   Nice. 
     
     
    The only thing it needs IMO is a better ending.

    Really love the change up from funk to smooth and back, really well done and fits so well. For some reason, I kept thinking of Edgar Winter while listening to this...
     
    Loved it!

    The drums sound thin and scratchy for my taste and the bass could be richer sounding as well.  Fun piece.  I really dig the bridge chord sequence.

    Yep, that's funk. I thought the singing could be louder. My kind of music.
    Good job on it.

    Nice tune...I like the Steely Dan chord influence...And "Don't Look Back" is pretty cool too...Ya gotta love harmonies over a sharp 9 chord...Kudos

    Great stuff. Love the funk. 
    Great chords and yes, Steely Dan-ish is right on.
    Distinct changes. Nice.
    I'm good with the drums.
    Great riffs.
