Here is a 33 year old shuffle that will never sound dated to me. The great Steve Jordan on drums and Will Lee on bass, the David Letterman Show rhythm section at the time. Somewhere I heard the hihats part got mixed out and shakers mixed in, the "cut" is strongly being provided by the keyboards throughout the song. The unsung hero on this is Larry Carlton on guitar who seems to have carte blanche and plays all sorts of sneaky parts underneath that help tether an already fiercely swinging cut.
