Con Funk Shun

This album starts off with the funk groove "Too Tight," which peaked at number eight on the Billboard R&B charts. Complemented by the swinging horn intro, the lyrics and the vocals are an enticement to the dancefloor. It's followed by another dance-flavored track, "Lady's Wild," which features a catchy hook and a party ad lib. Two mellowed-out numbers in "Give Your Love to Me" and "Can't Say Goodbye" never made the charts. The former offers jazzy interlude solos by Michael Cooper (rhythm guitar) and Felton Pilate (trombone), and the latter is a quiet storm favorite. ~ Craig Lytle, All Music Guide
