Try to listen to this like it´s the first time you hear it. If you can, a 10 is inevitable. Unfortunately I can´t and leave this song unrated.

The Funk Brothers are Beatles level in terms of influence and talent, imho.

That's what I say to my 28 year old son, who is a rabid fan of current music, especially indie stuff.  Amazingly, he agrees.

There is a lot of good current music, but it's not like this.

This always takes me back to when I had a paper route at 3am in the morning and this was a huge hit in heavy rotation, playing at least once everr hour while I rolled and then threw papers in the wee hours, my mom driving me around, my sister coming along for the ride.
 
What a great memory...and an awesome mom and sister for supporting you.  Amazing what comes to mind when "old" music (from any era) is played, eh?

This song will always make me think of the film "Cooley High." That film, and what it had to say about race, had such a huge impact on me as a child/teen.

The tech was fine, it was the engineers at the time that pushed everything to sound loud on the radio, before compressors came in to widespread use. Tape was very forgiving. +6 VU was common. The early days of digital was horrible before engineers realized that you can't push the recording level past 0 VU or 1111111111111111

Yeah, the tech sucked so bad that producers and recording houses now pay huge bucks in an attempt to duplicate that sound on current equipment.  Tube amplifiers and limiters which were thrown out in the early 80's now command monster price tags, and a whole industry has sprung up to produce copies of them.

If you want to see crap audio, though, look at your typical mass-market CD audio on a scope.  Ewwwwww....

The sound was also (literally) optimized for that '67 Mustang AM radio speaker at the top center of the dash. If it didn't make an impact in that limited environment, it was tweaked until it did. Few people had FM stereo in their car, never mind audiophile-caliber systems at home. It was all about charting big on CKLW (Windsor, ONT, home of Bob Seger's station program manager "Rosalie") and market-leader WKNR (Dearborn, MI), followed shortly thereafter by the NYC stations and the rest of the nation.

 

I drove from NJ to CA in a 1967 mustang in 1975.  We mostly played 8-tracks.  What a hoot!
