The perfect song to wake up to one morning , put on your red velvet robe and slippers , and walk around the house smoking a pipe.

To all the timing issue comments, the trumpet and sax tend to rush the melody in the A section and then drag it in the B section. It also seems to speed up (tastefully) at around about 3:40.

I hear some timing issues with the horns. My guess is that they tended to rush the melody and Silver told them to back off. If you know the words (or Leon Thomas' wordsat least), there's an odd slowdown on "to be devoted to and always stand by me." Still great.
