Are you ready for some of the finest bittersweet soul to reach you in this Internet moment. Flash back to ’78 with Rose Royce and get into a zone where sequins, afros and space crystal stage sets rule the scene. This tune from the album Rose Royce III: Strikes Again! is one of the coolest groovers ever put to tape by famed producer Norman Whitfield. Synth nerd alert: check out the Oberheim keys in full effect and make up your own mind about whether those bongos are triggering the electronic tom rhythm. Enjoy!
