Oh Criticize a CBS Recording artist from the 70's. Do you have a contract? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodney_Franklin
In 1980 the album You'll Never Know saw some major chart success with "The Groove" (it reached number 7 in the UK Singles Chart).[1] The track was released on both 7" and 12" format. It created a UK dance craze called 'The Freeze' which was started up by DJ Chris Hill.
ugh! people that complain about music usually are dumb!
Did you forget what year He wrote this, He was at the cutting edge, there wasn't too many other options.
Can you play the development part after the (mundan ) introduction? It is melodic and lyrical, rhythmic, classical, progressive, and it is based upon the style of the 70's/80's end of the pop era no duh!
Mundane doesn't fit, it has no wrap, but it is chillin', It has virtually no electronics, but it is alive and acoustic; and, the chords are beautiful. M6, dim, M7, 4+, and many more chords, kids don't write music with a variety of chords any more, oh yea! This is Mundane! Call negative wrap mundane! Did you get it.
Pablo Earp write something better and I'll be the first to buy it. Did you even understand the music? It would be so cool to see you play it. Then of course, I shouldn't have responded. Because, You probably are not positive enough to take the challenge. yeah! I double dare you.

This recording stands for all time as one of the best jazz-funk grooves. Rodney's still around playing that great smooth piano-jazz! I especially love all the wild, wonderful piano solo between 2:01 and 2:59 and that quick little riff around 3:40. Also the fadeout piano riffs.
