4 July 2016, No. 158, Barry White, ‘It’s Ecstasy When You Lay Down Next to Me’

No. 158 is no paean to independence, but on our nation’s birthday I think it’s worth celebrating the unalienable human right to choose whom to lie down next to. Barry White’s “It’s Ecstasy When You Lay Down Next to Me” [sic] does just that. Also, I never noticed before, but No. 149’s bassline and general groove are lifted from this tune.
