Body and Soul (Joe Jackson album)
- ... that Joe Jackson's 1984 album Body and Soul emulated the artwork of the 1957 jazz album Sonny Rollins, Vol. 2? Guardian wrote, "unapologetically mimicked the cover of saxophonist Sonny Rollins’ 1957 release, Volume 2."[1]

- Roll Tide Binksternet--I'm having a look at the article (thanks--it's one of my favorites). Drmies (talk) 21:30, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
Long enough, new enough, hook is fine and verified, etc. Thanks for expanding this, and yes, "Go For It" is not a good song. Drmies (talk) 21:39, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
- Heh heh... I'm sure it has its place, but in this album it doesn't fit. Personally, I love his atmospheric/cinematic stuff the best. The natural reverb on the album is amazing. You should hear it on my super-duper-neutral powered monitor speakers from Slovenia. Binksternet (talk) 22:14, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
- Actually, my first impression of "Go For It" back in 1984 was that Joe was making a bald play for commercial endorsement. I wonder if any companies ever offered to pay him licensing on their adverts. Maybe if the song had been more successful, familiar to more people... Binksternet (talk) 22:26, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
