getting drunk a little...Out of weed...shit...In a rather sad mood...Typed this song...Happy and sad at the same time...Where R U AL?...Remind me of the days I was cruising while playing your tape outloud in my little french car....
This IS the baddest cut that AJ has made. And the man has made some really good shit in his time. I haven't heard this in along time. Oooooh yes! This is one of those songs that I will never, ever get tired of. I will play it two or three times, every time I listen to it. Enjoy this folks.
@2ruebarb yeah when is looking down that nose they have the same nose and also when he played in I'm gonna get ya sucka , pimp of the year award B----- better have my money rain sleet or snow.
Good post on a happy upbeat song! (though he's "Sad and Distracted" :) One of my all time favorites. Love how the video continues for a few seconds after the song's over.
An icon, in his own right. He makes music and songs for everybody to enjoy. Love em always, and I don't like to many singer's. I like to feel the way I want to feel and he offers that in his music. Most artist tells you how you should feel, boring.......Go Al or go away...................

Abe Laboriel : bass
George Duke : Fender Rhodes
Jay Graydon : electric guitar
Steve George : synthesizer

Killer alto sax solo is by Lon Price, who also played the sax solo on Al's biggest hit, "We're In This Love Together"!
