from the 12” single, SAM Records, 1980“Yes ya’ll, put your hands up in the air, and rock it like you just don’t care…let’s do it, do it, there’s nothing to it…” Ahhhh, weren’t times simpler when the above phrase was enough, no pretension, no big words, no greater social importance, just getting down. Producer and arranger Greg Carmichael was another partner that Patrick Adams teamed with sometimes, mostly notably in their influential project the Universal Robot Band; here they enlist the killer pipes of Leroy Burgess & a grip of his family members, backed by a solid crew of sassy divas, “…let me know you want to do it too…don’t cha like it, don’t cha like it?!” Along with Mr. Burgess’ infamous vocal stank, the real star of the show here is the flanged out synthesizer, which seems to have a life & mind of its own---it’s always a safe bet to assume a synth (often an army of them) will take center stage in most Adams & Carmichael productions.
