i am a sucker for music trivia!   I wasn’t quite sure who the backup singers were so I admit I looked it up.  Mind blown and song appreciated.  I now have newfound appreciation for this song.  
A trivia question for you:  Djavan’s album “Luz”, recorded in 1982 and  released in the US as “Djavan.  The song “Samurai” had a harmonica solo...who did it?  It’s on YouTube, but if you can find the album on Qobuz it is well worth listening to. 

Plus our hifis are so much better now and all that old stuff sounds so much better now on it. New revelations from olden days all the time.

And conversely some of it just now sounds awful as its foibles are revealed.... lol

Uberwaltz,  very good point.  80s synth doesn’t sound quite so cool, but punk and ska sound so much more raw on my current system. 
Madman, I am also reminded of another song from the period, Samantha Sang’s “Emotion” with The Bee Gees as background singers. 

I love it when my hifi allows me to hear "foibles" in recordings. I love them all, except perhaps the occasional ones that make your ears bleed no matter what.

Much better than hearing the "foibles" in your hifi 24X7.

Being able to hear most everything in a recording is a big part of teh joy my hifi brings me. Good or bad. It’s very interesting to me to be able to hear all that went into a particular produced product. Or even just to hear what that production sounds like in my room. So many ways to extract pleasure out of recordings no matter what.

Pure joy for me is listening to a live jazz recording from the 1950s or 60s and picking up conversations in the background.  Never heard that on the LPs with my system.
