Today, we're keeping it classy...and brassy...with a "Great Song of 1976" from Earth, Wind and Fire!
"Getaway," from Earth, Wind and Fire's "Spirit" album, is a
funk-tastic blast of horns and rhythms that garnered so much critical praise, it was almost impossible to live up to!
Here are some examples:
Rolling Stone: " A propulsive funk track laced with dizzying changes makes the song one of the most sophisticated pop hits in recent memory!"
Record World: "A tapestry of electronics and syncopated vocals provides an inertia that should send the song skyrocketing to the top."
All Music: "A fantastically frantic jam. Easily one of the band's most sensational sides."
So, did "Getaway" actually live up to the hype? Absolutely!
The charts tell part of the story: #1 on the Soul Chart, and #12 on both the Hot 100 and Dance Charts.
The rest of the story was on the dance floor, which was always filled when the song was playing!
"Getaway" by Earth, Wind & Fire: a "Great Song of 1976."
Crank up the volume and give it a listen! It's a "funkin" masterpiece!
