Just got this album on vinyl. It is a masterpiece. The music floats, vibrates, radiates from the LP groove. It takes me to a place that I never want to come back from.
To be fair, 1974 was full of amazing music. If you weren't listening to this, I'm sure you were wearing out all the other masterpieces released that same year.
Shuggie played all the instruments on this cut and the album really (except strings and horns). 4 years before Prince came on the scene in 78, this album had to hold us over for the one man band cats. What a natural...I still marvel at how I can hear every note so clearly. Just a great guitar player.
Todd Rundgren was playing most of the instruments on his albums in the early seventies. When Prince was a teenager he once tried to get back stage at a Rundgren concert to meet him.
uh... just off the top of my head, Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder played everything on their recordings even earlier...Mike Oldfield... sure there were others...
Here Here. Just found out @work and looked it up IMMEDIATELY!!!. And I am a student of 70's funk fusion since the 90z. Ahh music. Just when U think U know! Lol
HAHAH!!! Same for me... Been listening for a few hours. His web page doesn't list any upcoming tour dates But I did sign up to his mailing list. www.shuggieotismusic.com
Instant Fan when I heard this as a random Spotify playlist discovery. I knew the name but didn't know how incredibly good his music is. Besides this Funky Soul music he's one of the best Blues guitarists I've ever heard.
Dude is dope crazy how I'm just now finding out about him but music is so vast that one could never hear it all in one lifetime even music from your generation I believe. I see modern artist like Miguel and Thundercat possibly being influenced by him
Just watched "Den Of Thieves" this Song was featured in the Movie! LOVE IT! Shuggie Otis I love this Song! MY type of Music! You have to put a hand up for the classics!

I don't know why I was listening to anything else in 1974 when I could have been listening to this beautiful song.
To be fair, 1974 was full of amazing music. If you weren't listening to this, I'm sure you were wearing out all the other masterpieces released that same year.
If you can’t feel that you ain’t breathin’!

Allegedly , he turned down signing with Quincy Jones and if its true I can guess why ... QJ wanted some booty .

@@FUNKACHELI I can believe it so much stuff is going to come out about him when he dies.
@@frankmarsh1159 Hello it's Me...In the hall of everthing!

Brings back so many memories from my teenage years playing hoops and hangin'.RIP Big Ro.
Heard this on UNC HD station while ubering WOW its like brother Johnson and p funk together on a groove ride
I have been looking for this song for years and years...(couldn't remember a single word sung or anything in the title)
Heard it in 1974 and never knew the title, then heard it last week on an episode of Medium...
Reminds me of the golden age of rhythm and blues. Truly classy and catchy 👏 👌 🙌
amazing vibes! listening to this song = automatic happiness
Yes indeed!!! Lost my mind when I first heard it! Ran into the poster at Tower Records!!! I miss that store so much
One of the greatest guitar solos of all time.

His father was the late, great Johnny Otis, bluesman supreme!
Bought this on vinyl when it first came out, just sayin'....
You old 😛

@@TheMastersuperblaste Yep -- however I did experience being young. You however will always be a dumb ass!
Brilliant guitar and lyrics .. just great feel good song .. Shuggie !!!!! Still got it !!
Masterpiece of an album. Innovative yet amazing. Never heard something similar ever since
Meanwhile in 2024, hear this in summer 1995, helped me find the way, Thank you to all of us, from all of us.
Phases in & out of groove shades subtle shifts of vibes
Sometimes nearly indiscernible but so delineated. Glides.
Love me some Shuggie. Wish I could see him play sometime
SENSATIONAL AWESOME HEAVENLY BEAUTIFUL AMAZING!!!!!
So, my sweetheart put me on to this. I had no idea he also did Strawberry Letter 23! Yes to ALL of this.
Wicked tune, I just discovered this music, my fathers time had hella smooth music.
This song was released as a 45 back in the day-how the hell wasn't this a hit..oh well
Because it sounds like a song from 1994, I guess. Pure avantgarde
October 28th 2020, first time hearing this and I LOVE IT!!!...Shuggie is the man!!!
First heard it back in 1974. 😐
smooth track love it
Took me back to my teen years. It was, and still is a dancible favorite!
