Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden, sweeping entrance of the violins on There Goes My Baby that signaled the birth of uptown soul.
The rhythmic, clicking percussion on Under the Boardwalk that mimics the sound of wood and sea salt.
The soaring, hopeful vocal climb during the chorus of Up on the Roof that captures urban longing.
