George Duke challenges the monster catchy, poppy, dancable funk of Earth, Wind & Fire here and aside from two redundant covers of “Reach for It” and “Someday” (neither of which are bad either), tunes like the Chic-sh tital track, the synthesizer-heavy “Framed”, the dancable “Ride on Love”, “Shine On” and a superior rare groove instrumental “Positive Energy” capture Duke at his best and most memorable. “Let Your Love Shine” is a great example of Duke’s ballad styling’s-far superior to his other slower numbers in terms of sheer songcraft. Tracks: Shine On, You, Dream On, I Will Always Be Your Friend Framed, Ride on Love, Son of Reach for It (the Funky Dream), Someday, Positive Energy, Let Your Love Shine, Shine on – 7″ Version.
