Last summer, late in the afternoon/early evening, someone was having a bbq + birthday party on the next street over in my neighborhood and the ideal way to hear "Joy and Pain" is wafting through the evening air knowing it came from a place where people are having a good time.

That's lovely and makes a lot of sense. I feel really grateful that I've just discovered them at this time of year. I think they're going to be a big part of my soundtrack for spring and summer this year. Joy & Pain is probably my favourite of the albums I've heard so far. The title track is incredible.

Donna Allen did a pretty good version of that in the late 80s which was a top 10 hit in the UK iirc
