I woke up to the morning sky, first
Baby blue, just like we rehearsed
When I get up off this ground, I shake leaves back down
To the brown, brown, brown, brown
'Til I'm clean

Then I walk where I'd be shaded by the trees
By a meadow of green
For about a mile
I'm headed to town, town, town
In style

With all my favorite colors, yes, sir
All my favorite colors, right on
My sisters and my brothers
See 'em like no other
All my favorite colors

It's a good day (To be)
A good day for me (A good day for me)
A good day to see (A good day to see)
My favorite colors, colors
My sisters and my brothers (My sisters and my brothers)
They see 'em like no other (See 'em like no other)
All my favorite colors

Now take me to other side
Little bitty blues bird flies
And gray clouds, or white walls, or blue skies
We gon' fly, feel alright

And we gon'
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
Yeah
It sound like
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
Yeah
The least I can say, I anticipate
A homecoming parade as we renegade
In the morning, right on

With all my favorite colors (All my favorite colors) yes, sir
All my favorite colors (All my favorite colors) yes, ma'am
My sisters and my brothers (My sisters and my brothers)
See 'em like no other (See 'em like no other)
All my favorite colors (All my favorite colors)

All my favorite colors (All my favorite colors)
Right
All my favorite colors (All my favorite colors) yes, ma'am
My sisters and my brothers (My sisters and my brothers)
See 'em like no other (See 'em like no other)
All my favorite colors (All my favorite colors)

It's a good day to be (A good day to be)
A good day for me (A good day for me)
A good day to see my favorite colors (A good day to see my favorite colors)
Colors
My sisters and my brothers
They see 'em like no other
All my favorite colors

Amazing segue from Booker T & the MG's Time is Tight. If I didn't know, I'd thought 100 times out of 100 that this tune was from the 70's...


Right?
Happened again tonight, that juxtaposition bumped this +1 to a 9.
segue 10

Just for a minute I thought it was the beginning of ‘Small Car’ by Marvin Pontiac and I was all excited. This is a good tune too just…. Had hopes up … 😬

Love these guys, really do, but I hope the rotation slows down on here a little, I want to continue to love them!

yes, great musicians. I like their different cover versions too, like the interpretation of "Sugar Man". 



Yep, fantastic musicians. What a soulful vocal, bass & drums groove, the piano is sublime. I am not over this song at all. It's a classic and keeps growing on you.

Now play "October 33" from this album.  It would be another 7+ rating

This one grows on you, and then compells you back. I expect to see people return and upgrade those 7/8 -> 9/10 once its sunk in just how good this is.

Great song and the horn remix with the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble is even better!
