lojo Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) Most my initial thoughts mentioned already Summertime - The Sundays , if I remember its just 2 notes reversed for chorus , ok you wouldn't put it down as a greatest ever line, but the song achieves a lot with very little Gene Chandler - Does she have a friend for me , never leaves the root in 1/4s but its so soulful and teases like its gonna do fill but doesn't Edited March 27, 2017 by lojo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is mentioned by a YouTube poster, but worth another mention, the girl backup vocals are real class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
