Willie Mitchell provides such consistently tasty arrangements - his partnership with Rev Al Green are legendary - he's the one who got Al to stop shouting - and to coo into the microphone instead. With Mitchell, less is always more. He's a music genius.
It's amazing listening to this - made so long ago, yet that section sampled by RZA sounds pretty modern and fresh. Willie Mitchell, the original (sort of) hip hop producer.
Met willie some time back in cinciinati,ohio.He and his son were together at the Queen City Blues Fest.They were good people,you could tell they love music.Willie was supposed to have been dead a few years back,sorry for the whole Mitchell organization.A genuis
