Swear!!! I remeber recording in over a live guitar for the first time in Louisville Kentucky. It was almost insulting to the guitarists because he was only playing small notes for the background of the beat. So finally when we're about to mix it down he sincerely asked to play a solo at the outro. WAS SOOOOO worth the extra studio time Lol. 🎸🎧🎛🎶🎶🎶

I had to search hard to find this track again. Could not remember names like these. Lol. Yes first time I heard this track on the radio I taped it and now I am amazed it's actually on youtube. I used to think that was Nate Dog in the chorus. Sounds like his vibe! It's hard to find rare classics like this one anymore now that Napster is gone and radio don't play jams like this anymore. I love this track forever.
