Could it be you've never heard this?

I reckon this is the apogee of the heavily arranged soul/funk song. Etta James, 'All the way down'. Arranged by Trevor Lawrence, former Reuben WIlson tenor player.

Joe Simon tends to be on the awesome side of things in general.

At least for me.

Could be your right.

Very heavy vibe on this one. 1973. And Chuck Rainey. A good counterpoint to the Joe Simon.

Found this interview while googling the song.

Worth linking I think. Funny reading her talking up the Stones

Look forward to getting this one. I think I have a couple of tracks on compilations. I have grown to appreciate Ronnie Foster more and more. Seems a lamentably overlooked musician these days.
