added blurb about album track
Line 34:
 
In his review for Allmusic, Donald A. Guarisco called the track "Hair" "pure magic," adding that it "wraps a clever lyric about tolerance around a huge groove driven by one of Graham's serpentine basslines." He also called out "Can You Handle It?" as another highlight and credited "Ain’t No Fun to Me" and "We Be's Gettin' Down" with making the album "equal parts pop-soul and funk" respectively.<ref>https://www.allmusic.com/album/graham-central-station-mw0000186103</ref>
 
=="Hair"==
While not released as a single, the track "Hair" went on to become one of Graham's most popular compositions among fans. Graham has said that like many of his songs, it was built around the bassline, which opens the track.
 
In a 1995 interview, Graham said of the song's origins;
<blockquote>"Hair. I got into that song because people used to really ask me everywhere; 'Is that really all your hair?' Because I had this hair that was like...BOOM. I mean it was like...you know, hanging down, big 'fro—super 'fro. And people would literally ask me, so that's why I wrote the song.<ref>https://openvault.wgbh.org/catalog/V_4AC9B8BDAC7C4A06969E0B77EE36C809#at_187.596_s</ref></blockquote>
