One cannot overlook the biggest seller “Best of my Love” as it stayed in the number 1 spot on the Billboard charts in the mid seventies. “We go through changes” is the Bomb! It’s too bad that it only lasted for about 30 seconds on that “Flowers” album. Should’ve been much longer, but that was Maurice White’s trademark, the little interludes or teasers in-between songs on all of his produced albums.
