    Fab cover. A song that should be playing 24/7 for the foreseeable future.

    Thanks 'ol pal, if it meets your standards I'm a happy camper. And yer right, it needs to be in pretty much constant rotation in these times.

    I'm sorry guys, for some reason Soundcloud has been really unpredictable the last couple of days. For a few hours the link works, then it doesn't. I'll post the tune on SoundClick when I can get to it.
    Thanks for trying!!d

    I love it- a man who's singing and smoking at the same time.  Can we say "FUNKY" boys and girls.  Way cool stuff, Rob.  I don't know what we were supposed to listen to, but I got "Don't Look Back" and that was great.  Loved the keyboard work.  Vocals were spot on too.

    LOL, thanks Phil, you must have gone to my SoundClick page, that video is on the main page. It's a couple of years (3? 4?) old. I appreciate the kind words!
     
    I have worked on the SoundCloud link to "You Haven't Done Nothin'", hopefully it will work now. I don't understand why it's been so wonky, never had this problem before.
     
    Thanks again!

    Tight sounding arrangement with the SW groove going on, sounds good here Bob, thanks for sharing.

    Always loved this one too...     Nice job!   That be some funky clav and the guitar punctuates it well, and the horns ride over it all nicely.  Vocals sound great and those harmonies are really thick.

    WOW!!! Really great in my opinion!!! I know it's a cover, and I must be honest and say that I don't remember hearing the original, but this sounds really great!!! I'm not sure what your plans are for this, but I can guarantee if you were to play this at a show the people listening would get into it big time. 
     
    I'm impressed by everything you've got going on here. I'm no mix master, but the only thing I would change "And it's just a personal listening thing" is I would add a little more treble to the vocals to make them scream/stand out a little more, but like I said I am no mix master. Sounds great as is!!!!
     
    Enjoyed hearing this one very much, that's some very serious musicianship, pardon me because I should say ARTIST WORK going on there!!!

    Thanks Steve! My collaborators did most of the heavy lifting (clavinet, organ, and horns). I had to transpose the song down a step to hit those high notes, old age has taken a bit off my top end!

    Thanks so much Bobby! And I agree with you on the mix, I'm working on another version of it now, hope to find time to get it done this week. As I pointed out above, the guys I collaborate with are the real artists (keyboard wizards, actually) I just did the guitars, bass, vocals, drum programming, and production/engineering. Those guys can play anything asked of them and are the ultimate pros.
    Thanks again!
