Great sound,
great voice, great material – what’s not to like? The material wasn’t as
consistently strong on their later albums, but this one’s a classic.
Interesting
note about “Smooth Operator” – the playing time on the back of the CD is listed
as 4:16, so when I went looking for it on YouTube, I checked for versions with
about that length. Trying three of them, however, I discovered that all of them
were missing the great spoken-word intro that is such an essential part of the
album version. I finally figured out that the CD listing lied; the album
version really runs almost 5 minutes, while 4:16 is the length of the single
version that has the intro cut out. Keep this in mind if you ever decide to buy
the track from iTunes or Amazon.
