“I love this part of this song, it’s so intense, I always want to head bang to it.
Plus it’s also one of the best breakdowns I’ve ever heard.”
Thanks Jack, I’ve now got a metal category. This is heavy, people!!

Check out the bass from Bernard Edwards on this Sister Sledge track, it’s sick. He’s behind a ton of amazing 70’s funk and disco production from CHIC (his group) and Diana Ross, among many.
