Oh gosh... this is often the downfall of many great bands, when they try to get taken serious - Slapper Funk was the shit with this guy, like the beer goggle classic Shake Up
I want to guess about 1983 or 1984, though I want to say 83. I know the song was the b-side to the "I need someone tonight" single which came out in 1983.
Blimey, this track is what got me backtracking 2 Stevie's original. Remember seeing this on a programme in the UK called "Rewind", which also introduced me to Scritti Politti's nonchalant performance (yet awesome track) of "Wood Beez" among other things!
Yes that Andy - he used to really boss those Brazilian style keys for ACR back in the day. I know this is real sacrilege but I secretly prefer ACR's version of this song to Stevie Wonder's - get it on the b-side of "I need someone tonite" as recommended by CRJ127 below
the ratios worked very hard to deserve their 'period of cackness'. Great people, great band, great track. I leeurve every little thing they ever did...
Must be '83. Saw them spring '83 in this formation. Later that year they released the 12" "I need someone tonight" and "Don't you worry 'bout a thing"!
fuck man.. Acr was awesome.. rest in peace factory records..

I love this song, I love ACR, but I hate that woman's voice; it simply gets in the way; it whines.

How did a band made up of members from council estates all over manchester feel when they went "JAZZ" and "SAMBA".
It did'nt work, but their early stuff is class
