    Steve Gadd has a gift that few have. He's able to relax to such a degree that, combined with his chops, he can lay out a drum fill that just melts. The lick in Chuck E seems simple but have you ever tried to play it? You've got to be incredibly relaxed to pull it off and your execution must be flawless.

    Of course, Gadd also played yet another legendary recording with some mind-boggling fills....

    MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i cant quit listening to that song ..... its been 2 days now that , that song has been in my head.for me its not just that fill, but the way that he plays the whole song,the groove is so tight ,but theres times that he plays almost against the groove, and he hit some accents that i would have never thought to do. but he does it with ease. hes soooooo awesome.. and i also have to say that Ricki lee sings that song like no other person could . shes got more soul in her voice than any human should . hmmmmm i think i'll go listen to it a few more times...
