Wasn't aware of this one Stewart... I had only seen the (lame) Epic
"Greatest Hits"... Thanks!
And, oh yes, in regards to the other comment; It's not a matter of stripping
down for the sake of it, it's a matter of something genial as Sly was able
to create that would make you aware that there was much more to "soul and
funk" as he layered some pretty complex grooves underneath what seemed, up
to until his arrival on the music scene, trivial "funk"...
Cheers,
Miguel
