Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive nine-minute funk workout of the opening track where Rick James's aggressive production pushes the group into a new decade.
The hauntingly familiar blend of Ruffin and Kendricks' voices during the bridge of track five, a brief glimpse of their 1960s chemistry.
The sharp, syncopated horn stabs that punctuate the rhythmic pocket of track three, proving their timing remained impeccable.
