Folks were really bashing the dude who wrote “Whenever I Call You Friend”!? Easily one of the best pop songs of all time...

Thundercat must have been reading this thread with great interest whilst recording the Drunk album.

i think the chorus on 'friend' is a little uncomfortable - it's hurried - they're just trying to pack in a couple too many syllables on those lines. Also the Stevie really belting it on 'REASON TO CARRRY OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNN" is not my favorite Stevie

The crazy atmospheric intro and bassline sent it over the top for me.
