JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound

I am a huge fan of J.C. Brooks and the Uptown Sound.

Maybe it's because they're from Chicago, a town only a few hours from where I grew up. (It's pronounced 'Chi-ka-goh,' by the way.)

Maybe because they're smooth...and rowdy...and sometimes both.

I started with 'I Am Trying To Break Your Heart...'

Moved on to 'Sister Ray Charles...'

Then, after a difficult week, this 2015 hit was just perfect:

Try not to boogie.

(For some reason, I cannot seem to load the official videos for these -- but you should try, via Youtube. They're great.)
