best at what they do and how they can make the simplest piece of music into a master piece. From the style of Clarence “Mac” on electric piano, which I mentioned early, to Ray Parker Jr. on guitar, who plays the guitar the way it should be played, not too loud but you know he’s there. Playing the electric bass guitar is Jerry Knight, who along with drummer Russ Kunkel and percussionist Ralph MacDonald, work brilliantly together to keep the rhythm section tight and the driving force of the song.…
