Listened again, they're in my face, I get what you're going for. Maybe just a tiny bit farther away from my face? Enjoyed everything else, really good.

Monster tune! Love it... It's got a vibe that's what matters to me most (sounds good as well but that's secondary).
So it wasn't ELO then  !

Dont know this band, but I do love funk.
 
I think this is awesome, with some gnarley solo instrumentation here (that stevie wonder style "as" rhodes solo particularly like tim said).
A fantastic funk landscape painted with all the right instrumentation.
 
"you might wanna fix your collar", just loved that line for some reason. Some great atitude to the vocals.
 
I don't have much more to add than that.

Herb - don't now about the summit but I sure had a lot of fun on the climb. Thanks!
James - head bobbing and hip shaking are the ultimate goals here, so I'm glad to hear that!
Ruben - I was a big fan of theirs for a long time, then I got to see them live and was just amazed! Such energy and precision in a live show just completely killed me! So glad you enjoyed it!
Robbie - Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment again, really appreciate it!
Alex - The vibe is EVERYTHING isn't it? LOL, no, not ELO but that might be fun too.....thanks for the kind words!
Cian - Thanks very much, it took me a long time to get the vocals the way I wanted them, heh, there's a lot of words there and I kept forgetting which line went where. After a LOT of takes I had finally learned them and was able to deliver them properly.
 If you don't know Tower Of Power (T.O.P.) do yourself a monster favor and look them up. They were (are) from Oakland, California and were at their prime in the 70s and 80s although they are still together, although not with a lot of the original members. They had a bassist named Rocco Prestia (who also produced their albums) who was a mad man, one of the most overlooked bassists in history IMHO. Later a guy named Victor Conte took over on bass, he later came to fame (or infamy) in the Balco steroid scandal.
Also, the Tower Of Power horn section has appeared on countless recordings through the years, they set the standard for funk/rock horn sections for decades.
 
Thanks so much for your comments guys!

Bob,
 
Excellent song and production.  Sounds fantastic on every level.   The vocal performance "attitude" really shines through.   Really fun, enjoyable song.
 
Regards

Bob, this is brilliant!  This automatically puts you at the top of the heap.  I've enjoyed this style for generations, and you make it shine.  I must listen again.

Excellent!  It might have taken 20 takes but the horns sound great.  The vocals and BGV's and timing on these are perfect for the style.  Sounds like you had a lot of fun doing this number.
 

Mark, thanks very much! I had a "professional" reviewer tell me a while back my vocals were too "self conscious" and I should try for more attitude and style. I thought he was full of horse hocky. I sing the way I sing. Some songs need attitude, some don't, I think. Glad you had fun and enjoyed it!
 
Lynn, you are too kind! Words like that coming from you mean a lot.There are so many talented, gifted people here it really motivates me too work harder. Really appreciated!
 
Freddy, I had a blast! I always wanted to be in a band with a killer horn section and somehow never got the chance, this is the next best thing. I've listened to so many horn arrangements over the years I want to put them in everything. If I recorded "Amazing Grace" I'd probably try to fill it with brass, LOL.
 
Thanks to everyone for all the kind words!

I've listen a lot to T.O.P. (have most records) and I must say you really nailed the sound! Specially I like the hammond, it sounds like the older (In the slot f.ex.) songs. And as many have said the horns are great. It was a pleasure listen to this!

Great job. Really enjoyed this.
