Clearly, between this thread and the other Herbie one you started, I need to make a trip to the record store.  Good stuff! I just sampled some of the other tracks from this one over at AMG.  | |

Is this a Q production too? Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off | |

actually Rod Temperton produced, along with Narada Michael Walden and a few others... ... " I've got six things on my mind --you're no longer one of them." - Paddy McAloon, Prefab Sprout | |

This was a decent Hancock album I liked about half of it.
I always thought this song was rather lazily done. I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. |

To me,this is the BEST song that Steely Dan never recorded.
It has all the makings of a good Steely Dan song. One of Herbie's best! "Love is like peeing in your pants, everyone sees it but only you feel its warmth" |

It IS very Steely Dan, isn't it? I would have thought it was Donald singing if I had to guess at it.
The vocal arrangement really made me believe it was Quincy. Nevertheless, it's a nice mellow groove. Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off | |

naw, I have the album, ...It credits Rod Temperton as producer, arranger and writer, and Narada producing afew tracks , but no Quincy.
Rod Temperton was Quincy's favorite collaborator in the late 70's early 80's though.... Temperton wrote or co-wrote and helped arrange all those hits Like Razzmatazz, Give Me the Night, Star Of A Story, Love X Love, Off The Wall, Rock With You, Stomp, Always and Forever, Boogie Nights, Aint No Half-Steppin',etc.... I'm gonna have to talk to those dudes over at 4 Brothers,

I just gave this album a once-through and I really like it. Granted, I've only got a couple of Herbie's albums, but this album doesn't sound a lot like the material of his I'm more familiar with. The first thing that comes to mind for me is EWF. It's not a bad thing, but it's a different sound. I like it a lot. | |
