But love me some Louis Johnson.

I've found the tone a bit bright also! I've compare the solo track with the album version, and I realised how all this prod what's great, from playing to mixing, to mastering!!!
But the playing is soo clean and moody! It's all groovy and tasty!! Any way, was fun listening, thank for your input! |

It's encouraging to me. |

It is Girlfriend that I cannot stomach in ANY way....though the Girl is Mine off Thriller also makes me cringe - guess I'm not a fan of Macca and MJ together (though I dig them both separately)
