It’s a feel-good, upbeat classic in which the legendary Quincy Jones remixes the timeless vocalists Ray Charles and Chaka Khan.

The groove and grit of their lead vocals are, of course, outstanding, and the arrangement—crafted by a master of dance music—is superb.

By the way, whenever I’m about to feel down, I almost always listen to this song and bounce back in a brighter mood.

It’s a track I can’t live without.
