I've listened to this track a lot over the last month and half, and
while it is a fairly straight forward cover of a classic song, for my
money, it works beautifully. To tinker around with the track too much,
would remove its soul, and what made it such a great song. And as much
as I love Minnie Riperton's original, I can't get over the fact that
4Hero actually improved on such a classic.

I just heard this finally...um, it's not really that much different than
the
original Minnie Riperton tune. In fact, it's a spitting image of the
original. I was expecting to hear this tune in "the classic 4-hero
style"
but, I dunno, all it just seems to be showing is that they know how to
make
it sound like the original. Whoopee. Any thoughts...?

UNIVERSAL TRUTH #107317: If a band has the word "soul" in their name,
chances are they do NOT play soul music.
