Back here to funk central for my fix, there is no better, the instrument mix, playing and production are second to none, also it puts you in a good mood,so the power of music is self evident here.

Commenting on Funkitatious has exhausted my Funkabulary and finding myself far from readjusted when you hit me with this track, I am somewhat lost for words but believe I may have achieved Ascenzion. Make my funk the Al funk. I need to lie down now but shall without doubt return for more enlightenment when I have recovered. Awesome Al - That's your new knickname :)

Funk doesn't get much better than this... and throwing in the rap vibe takes the tune on a funky flight from the 70's to present day. Excellent dynamics and just killer mix of instrumentation. Did I mention that your production skills are second to none? A very well deserved #1 here. You never cease to amaze me Al....Bravo!

Right off I hear a great groove from the rhythm section! Love those tight and funky old school guitars. The clavinet fits perfectly in this mix. That bass is stealing the show with that driving beat man...Really nice toe tappin' fun! Great production!

Wow, first of all I just had to listen a couple of times to the intro. How did you do that? So good! I love that combination of slab bass and synth. The synth is coming right from the 80’s for me. Such a great building up with a strong live sound, like you are standing in front of the stage where everything is happening. There is happening so much. Those who have listened to this one surely will have a really good mood with lots of energy, it’s a kind of dope. One point, I would have put it in the Funk genre. Very good job, really in your style. I remark you are using more vocal samples nowadays which is a very good step.

I'm a big fan of 70's style funk, so you had me hooked right away. I always liked this kind of music because it is usually so much fun and so upbeat, you always got the impression that the musicians were enjoying every second...and you've achieved that with this song. A lot of fun, a track that you want to join in with, very rhythmic and funky. But like many things that are intended as fun or comedy, they are the most difficult to nail...and you've done that 100% here. Awesome.

The #1 on the charts for this tune evidences once more your qualities.... my congrats on a new hit Al!!! :D :D

Wow! Awesome groove and sound also as spicy tunes and intonations are really stunning! However, when I listen to your music, Al, I always recollect such a notion as "perfection". Very cool... My hat is off...

Wow, this really is something else! What a fabulous funky tune. The intro had me thinking of Decoy album by Miles Davis with the synth sounds. Then it changed to make me think of Funkadelic’s, Standing On The Verge Of Getting It On. Are you sure Boots Collins isn’t playing bass on this! This is as funky as hell. Fantastic playing, vocalising and production. Brilliant stuff Al.
