ReplyDeleteOne of the funniest and best songs ever, always gets you in a food mood
Awesome album in every way. Definitely a classic of the Funk/Disco era. I love how Heatwave was equally good at doing Disco, Funk, and Soul songs. They pretty much nailed the foundations of how to make a top-notch song in each of those genres. "Boogie Nights" and "Always and Forever" in particular were favorites of mine long before I picked up this album, and they're even more satisfying when listened to alongside the rest of the songs on it.
