You did it on this song.  The vibe doesn't stop- what a feel good song.  Arrangements and singer really bring this to life- good selections.Opening has that Joe Cocker vibe- \"You can leave your hat on\".... With a little mix of Stevie Wonder on the side.  Nice influences.Solo is tasteful, works to give the ear a nice break just like it should.I like Partners in Crime for the title however for marketing \"Summer of 73\" may be a bit better.  The song has a retro vibe and Summer of 73 is in the hook therefore more memorable for a music supervisor sifting through music.The hook works like it should- it makes you want to hear it again.  There could possibly be a bit more melodic contrast between verse and hook but it works just the same.  You don't want too too much going on since the lyric needs a simpler bed to tell its story.  Maybe another instrumental bed of some kind in the chorus to give it an extra flavor and signal it has arrived?You're giving me a very hard task to critique this song because its very very good.  Your lyrics paint a picture just like they should.  We can see these guys and maybe even want to join them on their escapades.  You give life to a place in time in a very dynamic way.  Lyrics full of action and colorful descriptions.  \"We love to talk about the good old days Acapulco Gold and Purple Haze\"- your description takes us right there.You're smart and work with people who bring out your lyrics. That's the secret of success- just ask Madonna.  You may want to pitch this for retro films and tv when you get a good mix on it.  It is very specific- but it seems the songs I think are the hardest to place are sometimes the easiest because they're so specific.  Niche things can work in your favor.<br \/><br \/><b>Quote From Pro:<\/b> Sergio paints a very colorful picture of the good ole days, bringing you right into his world.
