    As a trained professional musician, who grew up when they played this song during inner city house parties, where folks didn't get shot! A time when folks went out to have a good time and dance, this is without a doubt at the top of the list of the funkiest songs OF ALL TIMES! As a musician every time I listen to it, the complexities of Clinton's vocal arrangements, the genius of Bernie Worrell's musical arrangement, the serious FUNK on the One and of course Phillipe Wynn's incredible vocal vamp and the use of the cuica (what?) no conservatory needed!

    Great song! I grew up on this song and was a sophomore in high school in 1979, it always played at the roller skate rink every weekend we went and on the radio on KSOL 107.7 in the Bay Area, Calif.

    Junie originally wrote this on an acoustic piano. If you listen closely you can hear him underneath all that MASSIVE funk.

    Thanks for this tightass post. Probably the baddest jam ever. I am high school class of '80. They say high school yrs. are the best yrs. Well this got alot of house parties jumpin. Alot of good memories.

      No lie. EVERY December 25 I recite Kurtis Blow's "Christmas Rappin'."
      ALSO class of '80. Bought all the albums then, I remember ConFunkShun, Gap Band, Sweat Band, Change, Shalamar was in its middle of its three phases, EWF was following up "I Am" LP with "Let's Groove" single. In college, I'd stretch out for cross-country practice in the gym where the basketball team had tape players.
