My old man loved this song. He banged this song out across lake Tawarewa New Zealand with his sanyo cassette radio in his Hamilton jet 83 in the 90s Trout fishing openings. As much as he trashed it, I still dig it.

First digital recording in pop music and still one of the best. This is from Bop Til You Drop, and there are no weak songs on it. The combination of Ry Cooder and David Lindley on guitars is breathtaking. Chaka Khan does the vocal lead on "Don'tcha Mess Up a Good Thing". The last song, "I Can't Win" has the best vocal harmonies I've ever heard. I've worn out numerous vinyl copies of this LP and still listen to it often. A complete masterpiece.

I was fortunate enough to see Ry and David Lindley in concert at the Auckland Town Hall, NZ, back in the 80's.Just the two of them, no backup band.Great concert.

From 1:58 to 2:34 is as perfect and crystalline an acoustic guitar solo as I can imagine. Concise, salient, technical perfection. Ry does in 36 seconds what some players never achieve in 70 years ... Django worthy!

Great song, so funky and Reggaeish ( is that a word ? ) . Great guitar and backing vocals . I saw a South Pacific island vocal trio do this once on a TV talent show . Arcapella . No guitars . They were great .
