Marcus I've been listening to this over and over again. You and your band have made your mark on the music world. Congrats from your step dad.

Who could possibly hit this with a thumbs down???? Geez... These guys are what music has been missing for many decades!

[ralphflores]

Reminds me of Bobby Womack... wish I had his voice. Great Soul and Feel. It's So Nice to hear Real Music in the digital world these days.

This young guy is so good he brings this man to literal tears. That’s when you know you’re listening to the work of genius.

Saw the MK band with one of my oldest friends in London last year. My friend's mum was called Rita, she passed away last week after a short illness. This beautiful song just made me cry.

Heard this on Towson State University's radio station. It has become one of my favorite songs.

[jackd.ripper]

Great soul/funk! With echoes of Steely Dan in there. Really great stuff.

[Amtran]

This is really good. I heard this playing in a store and Shazamed it! Great song, love this version.

[soerenguitarlessons]

This music takes me back in time to the late 1970´th, nice horn section, nice and smooth fender Rhodes like sound, tight rhythm section, and not to forget great singing and guitar playing. I would definitely go and hear the band, if they ever come to Aarhus. Great stuff!!

[wolfreyet]
