[@mileqjameel8166]

Your absolutely NOT lying. Never thought of that. Especially, since the man is STILL singing and sings BETTER, as well as Him still putting music out. There's a newer song that plays frequently on Sirius XM Heart & Soul station channel 48. Too bad I don't remember the exact title but STILL his way of speaking to The Time remains even in that newer song. Crazy smh. Him & Earth, Wind, & Fire had that effect

70s-80s funk/disco and Bluegrass is literally the only music I ever listen to lol. I grew up listening to a lot of funk and soul, and I’m from NC close to the Appalachians so that explains most of it. I also love 50s doo-wop and 60s Motown.

Funny thing... the bassline is a sanctified church staple at it's roots. Every organ player in every church I've been to plays it, but this has a flair that doesn't catch you, (unless you've been to church). Definitely a masterpiece. And this breakdown that you did is pure genius!! THANK YOU!!!
