Um. There seems to be some confusion. I never said I didn't like Stevie.
In fact I love him! Especially when he made songs like "Part Time Lover"
He's just the bestest thing!!

I was however trying to point out that Jamiroquai aren't copying him in
any way. And I do agree that Jason Kay's voice sounds a little like
Stevie's but only in the style that he sings. His pitch is a little
higher! Anyway, just because he is singing with a slight American accent
why should he be branded a Stevie clone? Thats like saying the Spice
Girls sound like Madonna, when they don't! (OK bad example, but I had to
throw the Spices in there somewhere since I just got my hair dyed ala
Geri)

And to conclude, I don't find Stevie's stuff dated. In fact I'm a 70s
wannabe, I only wear flares, platforms, etc, and I am I die-hard disco
fan!
