One song by Lindsey-Chris-Stevie I absolutely HATE

The piano part she composed is very similar to that for "Say You Love Me" & "Station Man." But it's played most expertly -- most in the pocket -- on "Sugar Daddy." Notice how, even in the opening bars, she hangs behind the drum beat by a smidge, giving it a laid-back R&B quality.

Also, her B3 work -- never top-notch inventive in my book, as you know -- is at its most interesting here. She throws the speed up on the rotary & keeps it there, & plays single patterns in the higher registers, which is the tradition B3 attack in blues & rock. Chris also gets a mini-counterpoint going with two lines driving simultaneously but on different tracks in the organ part (probably recorded separately).

The song itself has a great melody line, & her very confident vocal is the star of all the white album vocals. (Both Lindsey & Stevie were better singers on the following album.)
