Thanks for posting. I recognized the intro music as being from the Herbie Hancock Sextant album - another classic.

[Triadboynuke]

I wore this album out when I was younger

[tornebrookmafia]

YES, it IS the same Arif Mardin that worked with Chaka Khan, and Aretha franklin, Dusty Springfield, Bee Gees, Phil Collins, Bette Midler, Hall & Oates, Jewel, and Norah Jones to name a few. I used to work for Mr. Mardin actually. This is off his own artist album: Journey

[wadioface]

He also produced Norah Jones' first two CDs, "Pick up the Pieces" by Average White Band, "Wind Beneath my Wings" Bette Midler. I had the pleasure of working with him and his son Joe. Geniuses are best when they are sincere and kind.

[roscoegino]

same one. he produced the bee gees as well.

[pierrerichard7777]

@roscoegino in fact he was the one he had the idea that the bee gees should sing 1 octave higher. and they had success with that. before there werent singing those high pitched notes.

[TR0jAX]
