With these musicians, everything sounds better; this version is much better than the one on Sacred Songs. And Hall's hair in the 80s was more than enough reason not to listen to him. It was inexcusable. <br /><br />My dad wrote many of the arrangements for horns during the "Philly Sound" era and played on a lot of the classic Gamble and Huff tracks. All uncredited, back then. They'd cut a check and be done with it.

It's neat to know your father contributed to their music.<br /><br />Merry Christmas to you and yours, good sir!Jeffhttp://www.quidplura.comnoreply@blogger.com
