    You know, this song has that kind of Philly soul feel although I did not think so back then. I could have imagined one of the Philly soul artists doing a remake of this. Elton did make an apparent blatant attempt at soul in 1979 with "Mama Can't Buy You Love" and the Thom Bell sessions.

    Wow, look at these soul brothers and sisters dancing to this song!! These young black people so in shape compared to condescending/disgusting black youths of today plagued by rap crap and most hip hop music; more than half of blacks have STD's and police records thanks to rap lyrics glorifying sexual pervert acts and anti-social behavior.

    Then maybe you'd get it right and realize it was "peace of mind." Pathetic, truly.
