Was hangin' out at Back Ally Disc in C'ville in '76 on a lazy autumn Saturday afternoon and one of the staff put this on the house audio system and after 8 minutes of solid funk I was hooked and had to have a copy for myself. What a treasure ! Besides getting a never ending 12" x 12" art show while in the record store, discovering new artists and players in a unique way is something the current generation will never get to enjoy while on Spotify, I-Tube or YouTunes. They have no clue what they're missing out on.
First played this in a club in chesham, UK. It took the guys a few plays to realise then suddenly i had a whole new gendre to find music for and slow jazz funk into after midnight. Old memories eh
I'm watching that show at this minute and that's what brought me here too!! Long time since hearing it. Sounds real good!! ❤ The show funny as usual. Bernie is missed!!❤❤
My mom was playing this......long ago. I was 11, and had my clairinet for maybe two weeks...I started playing along. My mother was in total shock..how did you do that? I had no idea....as the years passed by...I would always play along when she played ANY song. If I heard any music, I could play along with it...but...I could not "sight-read" to save my life:( .
In the 70s, this song was used as the background music in an independent short film (perhaps 5-8 minutes in length), in which a young, somewhat forlorn sounding NYC guy narrates a tender story of seeing a transcendentally beautiful young woman (or more accurately, a woman with whom he believes he shares a once in a lifetime connection) on an elevator on the way to work, and then, regretting not speaking to her. Towards the very end of his narration, after the listener/viewer is feeling kind of bad for the guy, he softens the blow by saying that something like this happens nearly every day to him. lol for the life of me, i cannot find any mention of the film. Does anyone remember the short film? GREAT Song, BTW. Thanks for posting.
....oh yeah... I hear this song in the backyard of my mom's and Dave's place in Evanston, eating melon as the heat from the street lifted to heaven. I hear this song as a happy rhumba march around a dangerous coffee table where there was never any coffee served I hear this song on a reel to reel tape by Bell and Howell and Evanstown Township High School Oldmobile Cutlass four door in a metallic olive green. Larks and filters and menthols and links and bridge parties...
I first heard this many years ago, on an episode of Joe Franks radio series(can't remember the name of the episode.) Anyways, I always wondered what the name of the song was and who did it. Now I know. Also the year it was originally released. Anyone else out there (besides me, that is) in computer land, remember this from Joe Frank? Just wondered! Take care all! 2/1/20.
+mglsite It's NOT to fast in fact it's the exact opposite...I slowed the pitch down a tad bit on purpose....BTW...This is my other channel that You Tube has locked me out of for the past 3 years for reasons I have yet to be told!!!!!
Learned this song from my dad...WOW what memories...
I love this old tune, awesome horn blowing and guitar playing. Thanks You Tube!
I remember when this song came out I was 16 years old in 1976.

What ever happened to real music 🎶 like this rap to be violent in real life
That's what I'm talking about
Bernie Mac show
Dr. Lynn Richardson brought me here.
👍
Who is the guitar player?
dá uns dois...
The audio is too slow. The real original recording is faster.
It sounds a little fast to me.
Record speed sounds a little fast.
+mglsite It's NOT to fast in fact it's the exact opposite...I slowed the pitch down a tad bit on purpose....BTW...This is my other channel that You Tube has locked me out of for the past 3 years for reasons I have yet to be told!!!!!
Maybe so, but I knew that the timing was off a little.
This is quite slower than the original. I suggest you click to the right and listen to the version posted by zano4100.
Deborah Dessaso Thanks !
gots a job to do.....
