notes
Keyboardist Blue Weaver's ARP-based string and solo synth rig is well documented from the Bee Gees' mid-70s live and studio setups, filling the arrangement's mid-register alongside the falsetto vocal and congas. Keep the pad static and let the percussion and vocal carry the rhythm; the slow cutoff LFO just keeps it from feeling frozen.
