Recognized immediately as the basis for The D.O.C.'s 1989 "It's Funky Enough," Foster Sylvers' "Misdemeanor" takes an early lesson in romantic frustration and wraps it in an immaculately arranged, ridiculously propulsive slice of glockenspiel-laced funk perfection that cushions you -- at any age -- against the assured blow of life's most cutting disappointment. This must have made '70s AM radio feel like the afterlife for two and a half minutes at a time.
