Side 1 is a stomping boogie monster, with heat right out the gate on "Get It Right". "Pretender"'s menacing bassline and Aretha's syrupy dragged out deep voice makes this an easy track to laydown. "Every Girl (Wants My Guy)" is another killer, seriously this A side is just simply amazing. 1983 is the place to be for boogie and me!

Where do you start with this one ? Luther Vandross in full boogie mood and Aretha Franklin rolling her lungs out for all to enjoy. Get It Right is blisteringly funky with a call and response vocal that is just pure incredible, the backing vocals also rolling along nicely. I heard this as a London Loft party a few years back for Lucky Sound System through Klipschorn speakers. A spiritual moment, incredible in fact and one of my favourite moments ever on a dance floor. Search out the extended version and you will know !!
