2. Fantasy*****[4:34](M.White, V.White, E.DelBarrio): Second single release from All-N-All. Moderately fast Afro-Latin spiced with classical and jazz overtones. Crystalline keyboards, agile rhythm guitars, airy strings supported by a variety of percussion instruments augmented by elastic bass lines. Philip Bailey's falsetto lead voice projects a melodic urgency that is appealing. Effective operatic background vocals. Bailey stretches to hit a few high notes towards the end. (In concert, Bailey extends Fantasy to another level). The overall arrangement is impeccable from the keyboards, rhythm section, vocals, horns and strings, etc. "Fantasy" is a classic of all times.
