Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the delicate Chopin-inspired piano intro to the driving disco-inflected rhythm of Could It Be Magic.
The crackling, authentic 1951 audio of a young Barry and his grandfather opening the record with a moment of pure vulnerability.
The sudden, brassy swell of the chorus in Flashy Lady that hints at the arena-sized arrangements to come in his later career.
