OK, I know Miles wasn't as good in the 80s, but check out the tracks "Fat Time" and "Back Seat Betty".
Doo-BopDoo-Bop by Miles Davis
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $0.89
All right, all right, just hear me out. "Mystery" is a pretty impressive track compared to the rest of Miles' output from the 80s. And if you can get a cheap copy of "The Doo-Bop Song" single, the "Edit Without Rap" version might make the song listenable.
