@shotdonkey you can't even spell...stop posting until your grammar skills improve...regardless of your opinion, herbie hancock is a true genius...i doubt if you'll do this, but check out emperyan fields 1964...canteloupe island featuring freddie hubbard, ron carter and tony wiliams...you probably don't know even who these individuals are :-(
contrary to my spelling of anaemic (which is, in fact, quite correct), you got TWO things wrong in YOUR posting: first, it`s empyrean, not emperyan. worse still, it`s "isles", not fields! ouch!
herbie hancock is a great musician who has played some wonderful music. "future shock" however is most definitely NOT a highlight!
as for any future ad hominem (latin, btw!) attacks on youtube, maybe you should a) practice what you preach! b) know who you`re dealing with!
@shotdonkey why can't people accept that great musicians sometimes make ill-chosen songs? Herbie Hancock is awesome in general and even awesome on this album. But this cover sucks. Live with it, folks. A part of being a fan is accepting an artists highs and lows for what they are.
4 people were not shocked by the future

Must have a recording on cassette from the concert in Vredenburg, Utrecht (Netherlands) with this song. It was a male singer.

Isn't this Curtis Mayfield from 1973, Back to the World album? Way better version. No disrespect to Herbie.

this is just downright awful, but don`t take my word for it:
simply check out curtis mayfield`s original version and you will realise how anaemic and soulless herbie`s take on that great soul anthem really is!
