Review by MaximusMCX Jan 16, 2009
I admit, it starts a little weird. The Gap Band did it the same way with Early In The Morning and Burn Rubber.
What a good idea to make the intro like this. It makes the record instantly different from others.
Now, about this intro. It is so well done. First a synthesizer versus a piano. Then a high pitched bell versus a
rhythm guitar. Snappy hand claps and bass kick in. Making it more rhythmic and funkier all the time.
Along the way a steady cowbell keeps everything together. Your raw rapping vocals versus the children's voices.
The bass gets real funky. At the end, a nice combination with your sweet piano play. This song emphasizes
rhythm and has got the very soul of disco written all over it. What can i say. It makes me wanna move all the time.
My foot starts tapping by itself. Your friend is right. It puts a smile on people's faces.
I've read your interview in the Philadelphia Weekly and i would like to invite others to do so as well.
Respect, Sir Frankie Smith!
