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)

A good day to see my favorite colors (A good day to see my favorite colors)

Happened again tonight, that juxtaposition bumped this +1 to a 9.

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...

the fluttering high notes of guitar on the upbeat tickles my tummy and I feel weightless….
then the keys kick in -WOW!

Snuck up and hauled me away to groovytown. Great build and message. Awesome tune. Volume went to 11!
I love this song so much.
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!

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

Quite a unique sound!
I am so over this song.
Discovered this song on RP. Keeps getting better every single time I listen to it. Awesome!

Now play "October 33" from this album. It would be another 7+ rating
Bumping up to a 10.
Beautiful.
This guy sings like I will when I arrive in my next life.

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.
Outstanding bass!
Great song and the horn remix with the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble is even better!
Started at a 7, but I like it more each time I hear it.

This song sounds as if it was a long-time-ago. classic, 10/10
They remind me of several of the soul and R&B greats!
