Nostalgia aside this song is very powerful.

I always keep a copy of 'Donny Hathaway - Live' with me on my Android. Helps keep my powder dry.

Being a Luddite who can't seem to manage a simple file transfer, I still offer Neil Young's Keep On Rockin' In The Free World (2007)

One of my all time favorite albums. If a guy can't get laid with Al Green as his wingman, he ain't trying......

While I think Al Green was the last definite classic southern soul singer. I listened to his albums for Mabon "Teenie" Hodges smooth, effective guitar licks. He may be the single most underrated R&B guitar player in history. I got a copy of Willie Mitchell's cover of Soul Seranade and listened to it till the CD broke. I don't like Drake's music but he's Hodges nephew so I respect him for that reason alone. Also listen to Syl Johnson's Hi Records tracks. Same label. Similar sound to Green..

Love and Happiness was in my set list for years...love that orange crate stomp in the intro..I think Al is playing the acoustic on simply beautiful though..one of the few times he showcased it on record

Yeah. I know that Al Jackson played on Green's first hits but I know that Hodges' brother took over by Love and Happiness and Here I Am (Come And Take Me.) There is that basic snare drum slap on those Hi Records that is absolutely hypnotic. It's as much funk as it is soul. You listen to modern producers and they use triggers or samples to cover up mistakes. It's garbage and the fans deserve better!

Agree..it's the breathing in phrasing and the stretching of beats that you just don't get with a click track or that 120bpm backing track
 
Was in NYC during fashion week for work. There was a ton of shit going on (besides the fact it's NYC). My co-worker and I got invited to a concert - the headliner of the concert was "Vacationer". Solid band. Solid live performance. Been listening to them since. Positive, but laid-back, considered Nu-Hula, whatever that is. "Trip" and "Paradise Waiting" are good introductions to the band and their vibe.
 
Sick word play, reminds me of 'Fame' by GZA. 2 of the most creative hip hop songs I've heard.


That second verse is fire

The Y2k is a brand new era
I'm tryin' to make hits like Yogi Berra
I wonder how long I'll be in this biz
Cuz it's not all cheer like you think it is
There's a whole lot to gain but a lot to lose
Just ask any rapper who paid dues
Everybody now and then bound to struggle
I just grab my wife and we lay and snuggle
We talk about the ivorycoast how one day
We gonna sail on the tide and get whisked away
Look up at the stars 'til the crack of dawn
Hold up I never leave your side for long
But for now I keep on making you bounce
And make sure something in my checking accounts
Grab my cell phone and then start to dial
Take a look at my life and start to smile
It's funny how the game make you change your tone
Cuz the joy of my life is the microphone
So I straighten up my act and keep doin' my thing
Gettin' the green, nah mean, getting it clean
