CHANCE OF WAKING TO IT piccadilly line
RATING
One of my favourite Sly moments. It's a lovely, laid back and slinky piece of funk that is moved along by the power of the bass playing, which right in the middle of the tune. Bolted on to that is some sparse drumming, that is backed by a very simple drum machine pattern. Behind this brass and piano bubble along to either side of the listener, keeping things light and giving hints of playfullness. This, in turn, points to Sly's vocal, which is definitely one of his most playfull-sounding. Finally, Sly uses his organ to stab out emphasis every so often with some big, but not overpowering chords. It's hard not to end up with a smile on your face after listening to this. Just what the world needs on such a grey and miserable day.
