Agreed it is not much different from the original but I like their trademark
breakdown in the middle and it works really well as part of the album.
As far as the single goes, it is nice to have it on vinyl but 9 by 9 on the
b-side is a superb tune and my reason for purchasing it.

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.
