Alfred the King of Disco, Dick Hyman: "There is nothing anonymous about this tune. 'Alfred, the King of Disco' is certainly not going to just blend in with the likes of 'Two Hearts in Three-Quarter Time' or 'The Way We Were.' It's not only odd, it quite likely never make it out of the sound library until someone grabbed the tape.
And then there's the music. This is Hyman solo on electronic organ with rhythm effects and some kind of wah-wah peddle. In fact, it sounds as if some demo tape Hyman recorded to showcase his skills on the wah-wah, since at one point he dabbles with it to the point that the tune almost self-deconstructs."
