Title: Herbie loses his edge
Review: While "Head Hunters" sounds very innovative for 1973, by the time of 1976's "Secrets", Hancock has slipped into mainstream disco pop. "Doin' It" is a plodding, repetitive dance tune with cheesy background vocals. The remake of his own "Canteloupe Island" lacks the creativity of his re-made "Watermelon Man", sounding a lot like TV background music. "People Music" saves this record from a one-star rating, it seems it would be much more at home on "Mr. Hands" than this collection of forgettable music.Unless you're a Herbie completist, pass on this one.
