"Inspiration Information" by Shuggie Otis (1974)

Overall Feel: Soft, Smooth, Light (makes you feel good)

Musical Elements: The group's vocals were very light and the instrumentation was not very strong (especially the keyboard and guitar).

Choices:
1. High over low-pitched vocals
2. A slowly building instrumentational group over a full force instrumentation group from start to finish

The high-pitched vocals worked because they complimented the slowly building instrumentation and vice versa. Together, they brought a nice "feel good" atmosphere to the song.
