Appointments
Nothing that the Appointments cut for New Yorker Gene Redd can get anywhere
near
Sweet Daddy for power or impact. The De Lite / Redd Coach
tracks are pleasant but totally unremarkable group soul, whereas this cut
is a hidden gem. The contrast between the harsh grainy lead and the background
harmonies works really well. And the rap in the middle section is finely
judged too. The chugging rhythm and occasional horns all add up to a near
perfect record.
