'let's Get It On' Is A Classic

Barry White Seemed So Filled With Self-parody At First That It Was Easy To Dismiss Him. But It Is Becoming Increasingly Obvious With Every Additional Release That He Is A Very Talented Man.

'let's Get It On' Is A Classic Motown Single, Endlessly Repeatable And Always Enjoyable.

While The Beatles Always Had George Martin Around To Clean Up Their Act, The Rolling Stones Had Andrew Loog Oldham To Coarsen Theirs.

The Stones Were Always Exemplary Of One Of The Best Of All Rock Qualities: Tightness. They Have Always Been Economical, The Opposite Of Ornamental. Having A Very Clear Idea Of What They Wanted To Say They Could Go Into A Studio And Make It All Up On A Three Minute Cut.

The Only Criticism Heard With Any Frequency Of Elton John's First American Album, 'elton John,' Was That The Production Was Too Grandiose. The Melodies Were Superb, And Lyrics Frequently Very Good, And The Performances Flawless.
