Song of the Week

"Move On Up" - Curtis Mayfield
Possibly the greatest use of instruments in any song I've ever heard. I chose this particular live version because you get to see Curtis himself singing, in the Hague, of all places. And it's the complete version. The only problem with it is that the horns seem to have been replaced by a synthesizer or something. If you love brass sections, be sure to listen to the album version.



Of course that hack Kanye West sampled this song on "Touch the Sky."
