#Syreeta feat. #GCCameron - "I Wanna Be By Your Side" (1974)

This song has an ecstatic, pearly-gates quality to it, like Syreeta and G.C. are indeed right there by your side, clad in white, ushering you across a warmfuzzy threshold into heaven. But what to make of producer #StevieWonder's totally wild - some might say ecstatic - drumming during the crescendo? Or for that matter, the way the song doesn't end, but just cuts off cold . . .
