We've had the Cordoroy/Steely Dan thread. Now the Jamiroquai/Stevie Wonder
thread....Here's something else to consider:
When I bought Mother Earth's The People Tree, I always thought the vocals
sounded alot like someone I had heard in the past.
Last week I got out some old Curtis Mayfield and there it was. I would be
shocked if Mother Earth doesn't list Curtis as a major influence!
