The Chi-Lites - Stoned Out Of My Mind

Brunswick 55500, 1973
 
A great song. I love the production - if you listen closely, there's really not too much there. Besides the horn section, it's a simple arrangement, almost minimalist. Just a strong bassline and a great vocal. That's all you need.

It's hard to believe it wasn't a bigger hit, considering their track record before this.



The single has a slightly different mix from the LP version I'm used to hearing (more Clavinet!).
