Tony is da Soul Man for sure.
 
Very, very, very, very minor crit. Kick is just a tad overpowering to me.

Mix-wise the kick does seem a bit over-present and the horns could be more "natural".
 
But in the end, so what - great song, arrangement and performances.   Vocals are of course a standout, both the lead and backgrounds.  The overall mix is clear and wide and just sounds great.    Nits aside I can certainly picture this on the radio.

Always a treat to hear you, Tony.  Good, good, good is right!   You are one of the folks up here that I try to figure why you aren't a big star.  I love the song and performance.  I can't wait to see the "fireplace" Christmas video this year. Rock on, Brother!

Great stuff, as usual. Been a fan of your stuff for as long as you've been sharing here, Tony.
 
This is indeed the "good" R&B, the kind I grew up with, the kind with a melody and a groove. 
 
Outstanding vocals, great mix - I have to agree with stevec on the kick comment, though. It's a bit strong for such a mellow vibe, at least here on my monitors. I know that big thump is one of your signature elements, though, so it's all good. I'd just prefer that nothing distract from your other signature element - great vocals and harmonies.
 
Thanks for sharing. And thanks to Warren for bumping the thread, as I've been away from Songs for awhile and might have otherwise missed this gem.

I'm sorry for taking so long to respond my friends, I've been busy building a mobile vocal both for my new mic, a Neumann tlm 103. Thank you all for the kind words and suggestions. I've tinkered a bit with the horns but didn't change them because NI Session Horns are the best horns I have. I did, however changed the kick drum to a more solid dry sound (the new kick is taking me a while to get used to). I always hope my less than great production skills won't take too much a way from the song. Anyway, thank you for your support my friends. I should also note I'm using Bandcamp instead of Soundcloud to post from now on. Soundcloud doesn't seem to care how I wan to present my material.

Man, you are a PRO!!  I hope you're chasing music as a profession because you've got the stuff!!  And I loved the sentiments in the sing too.
 
Great, great job.
