STEVE ARRINGTON'S HALL OF FAME "Positive Power" (Atlantic) Arrington’s bass does pop now, but whether you really get his funk depends on whether you connect with the way he turns the style’s loony-toon vocals into pear-shaped tones. Me, I jump only for the synthesized-kalimba hook of “Young And Ready,” and he chants that one.
