Van McCoy (1976) (To Each His Own)That's My Philosophy - LOST70sGEMS

A pinging disco inflected groover from the man responsible for the hustle. The funky lick is a bright bubblegum pop analogue synthesizer pumping high and low in tandem with a vibraphone twinkling away. Then in between this sparkling riff breaks are joint group calls to mind your business if it ain't your business..useful lesson if not a little random. Actually the little happy-go-lucky dance riff soughta fits the subject matter; the blissful perkiness of the keyboard and vibes brightly stroll up a octave and then back down. Its a simple roller disco boogie of a tune but good enough followup to the bewitching hit single The Hustle where McCoy alternates a sprightly piccolo flute line with a bawdy saxophone jam to the rustling strings of disco.
