it is as good as a pop song gets. no second is wasted - the thing that i think makes it truly perfect though is that each part is so compelling on its own (genuinely listen to the stems of this, they're unbelievably fun) and yet they all form a greater whole. also you just have some of the best session players giving it their all
I think this is genuinely the best arranged track of all time. Insane horn parts. One of the best basslines of all time. Some of the best drumming youโve ever heard. Stevie Wonder harmonica solo. Dizzy Gillespie trumpet solo. Extended outro where he individually shouts out the session musicians on the track and they each have time to shine. Stevie Wonder is hyped out of his mind for the entire duration and seems so authentically excited about his song. Itโs ten and half minutes long and I wish it was double that.
the talkbox, the way he transitions into a Jackson 5 song seamlessly, the host gradually shifting from amusement to awe, it's all perfect pls go watch it
