Automatic - the Pointer Sisters

[link] This is a hell of song.  From 1984. It's the arrangement and production that really does it.  This was the peak of synth pop.  The verse is so restrained and the thing just explodes in the chorus.  The chorus is the same music as the verse but it adds the high harmony and the over the top juiciness of the keyboards. The instrumental part I could do without. Brock Walsh co-wrote and co-produced the song and must have been the main force behind it, from what I read.  Genius pop. I love the old Soul Train footage as well.
