a further thought -the blending of the voices, the music and the crisp production...its very close to Abba...listen to Abba's 1979 album Voulez Vous, especially The King Has Lost HisCrown and If It Wasnt For The Nights
THE RECORD PRODUCERS - TOM DOWD ABBA were impressed with the nature of a pile of records that had come out of Atlantic Records, or the Warner Brothers complex, and they were interested in trying to put together an American rhythm section to try and make demos of several songs of a particular type
Voulez-vous actually featured funky US group Foxy.
memories!thank you. not heard this for 30 yrs. this and the albums title track Real People are absolute classics. beautiful melody, simple hypnotic minimalist production, strings/synth and bass, classy vocals -i love it!
man, I wore this album out!!! if I were stranded on a desserted island and could only listen to 10 albums , this would be one of them. every track is excellent. fav.track is " you cant do it alone."
This song came from the album "Real People" which is okay but the title track-Real people is so true and I sing it all the time. All the songs on this album are jamming, especially "he's a chip off the old block" what a guitar lick!
I wish I could upload the songs, true Chic fans would love it.
thanks for posting this Chic! Real People is my fav. lp of all time!

Real people
I want to live my life with some real people
I am so tired of hypocrisy
and why these folks even bother me.
Please, just let me be
be with some real people

It's an odd Chic track but still one of my old faves -- but very few even know this one... Thanks for the post!

I have always thought that too but the music and the blending of the voices on the chorus are still there, that is what captivates me.
