But in this day and age of folks avoiding soul/groove based music like its the plague, it works for me
And coming from some old cats...it could be a lot worse
They could easily take the Bar-Kays path and auto tune Philip, have one of his 14 kids rap on it and produce it.
I give them extra props for at least trying to please their fan base as opposed to pissing them off
Lawd knows where that got them
