    Laws was 25 when he recorded this and this song still sounds good 45 years after its release.

      including the remakes, I'd like to add. If they wouldn't have it on as background filler, I wouldn't be as likely to play this tune as much. Either on vinyl or over here, it only depends where I'm located. But every time I hear this tune I want to hear Ronnie's version. Still brings me tears of joy, always at/after the second drop (as dj's would call tt. It's the second chorus if I'm not mistaken, or for anyone else, around the 3.24 mark)
      Man, it's amazing what music can do with human beings

    My dad is a professional bass player. He was the only white guy in the band when playing for DJ Rogers. Most of the music played in my house in the 70's was jazz fusion and this song was one of the best. He flipped over to the blues in the 80's but this is the music of my childhood.

      When I was 12 or 13 years-old, I lied to my mom and told her that I was going to play soccer with some kids at school. But I bought a ticket for $3.75 and took 3 buses to go see Ronnie Laws at the Rainbow Music Hall. It was a fantastic show! I didn't tell my mom till I was 17-years-old. She was pissed that I didn't take her! 😁

      But, I've had to ban myself from listening to hardcore techno, drum and bass or metal in the car for the same reason. 180bpm and I start tailgating every mofucka in sight...

    I was working the night shift , listening to the jazz station KBCA FM in L.A. and when I heard this for the 1st time I had to buy this album and I was a fan for life. Then , I found out about his talented family and their musical colaborations,
    The Jazz Crusaders, Hubert Laws and Joe Sample, Eloise Laws " Love comes easy" I saw Ronnie at a club in
    Redondo Beach, Ca. called the Golden Bear. It was a great show. I feel so blessed to have been there in that era. I am still groovin to this in 2019! Peace and Love

      Had the opportunity of meeting Ronnie Laws in the late 90s/early 2000s. He played at a Boys and Girls Club jazz event in Pasadena, CA. He seemed to be a very nice, down to earth person.
      My dad knew Wilton Felder of the Crusaders. He grew up in Houston, TX with an older brother of his. And I (coincidentally) went to high school with Wilton's son. He & I kinda felt like cousins after realizing our families knew each other. It's a shame we lost contact after we graduated. They were cool people.

    One of the best get up off your ass and get busy tunes ever! Been loving this since it came out. This & Stevie's Songs in the Key of Life, about a year later, both just have a wonderfully positive bounce to them. Almost seems heretical since gump came to power.

    Although some people say it's before my time this is a song my mother played when I was 13 years old and I caught the groove. I'm 60 now and still enjoy this song instrumental or with words. Its nice you can still hear it with you tube because over the years the album she had has disappeared.

    From my very first jazz album. I purchased Pressure Sensitive after hearing it on a local jazz program from a local PBS station. I had a cheap FM convertor connected to the AM car radio in my 1968 Ford when I heard this play in 1975. I had just graduated from high school. Great memories. Classic jazz!!
