Celebration by Kool'n the Gang composed by James Taylor & Deodato among others.

Dorothy and I have played several shows for retirement residences over the past few weeks that have not been recorded since that extra effort is sometimes just too much to take care of. One thing I have to work harder on is the song Celebration-- especially for our New Year's Eve gig. The songs sounds straightforward enough but when you look at the sheet music, it's a real mess-- and a big problem rhythmically. I'll post the Youtube's I selected earlier again this morning and add to the same playlist as I explore the issues I have with it. Note that James Taylor and Deodato (of Also Sprach Zarathustra fame) were just two of about eight co-writers! That's ridiculous.
