“People Make The World Go ‘Round” sees Bofill and her producers at GRP Records (label heads Dave Grusin and Larry Rosen) take Al Bell and Linda Creed’s classic 1972 smash for The Stylistics firmly on to the dancefloor. Taken from Bofill’s second LP for GRP, 1979’s "Angel Of The Night", Bofill, and pianist / arranger Ray Chew take “People…” into an up-tempo jazz-funk realm, central to which is the propulsive off-beat and dynamic, driving funk bassline. Chew decorates the groove with deft horn, string and keyboard parts that match Bofill’s urgent, forceful interpretation of the lyric, while bright Latin percussion is added to the chorus and even more so during the instrumental passage from near the beginning. From there Bofill and her backing singers chime the title refrain over the magnificently named Tinker Barfield’s incessant bassline to the track’s close.
