Somewhere between plastic-soul David Bowie, “Sweet Transvestite,” and “Werewolves of London.” The veneer of 1970s cocaine-sprinkled* sophistication provided by the name-dropping lyrics and indeterminate-origin Eurotrash accent is really something to behold. I would be totally fine if Curry had entirely dropped acting for a music career, and I like his acting!
* “Sprinkled” may be lowballing it a bit.
Always loved the way he sings “whack!” in this song . . .
It’s stimulating!
And what a supporting cast in this clip … aside from the obvious awesomeness of Saxophone Guy, dig that bass player’s shades!
WOW. That is amazing, including the horrendous rock sax spewing over the whole thing. Curry really does have a gift, coke or no.
“Horrendous rock sax”? No such thing! 🙂
“dig that bass player’s shades!”
If I’m not mistaken, that’s Bob Babbitt – Motown Legend. Jamerson’s name gets tossed around more often, but the real “cats” know Babbitt’s no slouch either…
Check out “Standing In The Shadows Of Motown” on DVD.
