The fusion of groove and melody represents the pinnacle of dance music.
This is a masterpiece by this Brooklyn-born funk/disco group. "Call Me" reached number one on the US R&B charts. The electric groove and soulful vocals are dynamic.
This is a well-balanced work that incorporates pioneering elements of electro-funk while making the most of the groove of live performances. The sophisticated interplay between synth bass and vocals in "Call Me" is impressive, marking a turning point for early '80s R&B. The melody is pop, while the rhythm breathes deep soul. The overall arrangement is clear, and the work can also be positioned as a bridge to club music.
