The 5th Dimension~ Feelin' Alright? (again)

Uploaded on 10 Nov 2009

 

I am TOTALLY diggin' this "head bopper/hip shaker" from the 1970 Portrait lp. This is a funky cover of the Dave Mason *Traffic*song that Joe Cocker famously remade. From the tinkle of the piano that drives the melody especially at the intro and breakdowns, and the heavy bass that drives the rhythm, to the drums laying down a phat beat, this song is just infectious. Add to that Billy's soulful, gritty voice accented by Lamonte & Ron in the back and Marilyn & Florence layered on top and behind Billy, this song is a real groover!!!

Enjoy!

*Note: Grand Funk Railroad also remade this song...but in ISIS' opinion...

This verison by the Fab 5th is THE BEST!!!*
