      And David makes it look so smooth and easy. Watch his style. Top confidence, suave moves without being so dramatic and wild. Unlike some drummers like Cindy Blackman Santana, who look like she's having a seizure while playing. David makes his style look like it's second nature to him. And his intricate beats are unparalleled. Like the world's most intricate timepiece.
      He's literally a human rhythm machine.

    I've always wished that Emilio sang more. Maybe he doesn't have quite the power of their full-time vocalists, but he sings with soul and conviction, he understands the music from inside, and he doesn't need to get replaced every three or four years.

    • @duncansmith8992
      @duncansmith8992 4 года назад +2

      Baribrotzer I completely agree. He has a great soul voice, better than some of their past singers.I suspect he does’nt sing as much as we would like because of his sax duties.

    • @supasoulproductions
      @supasoulproductions 4 года назад +5

      Emilio is a great singer of soul that is written for him, like this one and Diggin' On James Brown. He is not capable of carrying some of their earlier songs like You're Still a Young Man and Knock Yourself Out. Still would love to hear more of him. Top notch leader of a world class band.
