I love every version of this song, the original music video with Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines. hilarious, and the movie "Running Scared" that the song was made for!
Had it for several years but cannot think where I got it from. I've 12" record but I don't think it was on there....Several copies of the track (This track "Sweet Freedom" is my all time favourite song. Play it at least once a day lol. If I remember where I got instrumental from 12" and 7" I will let you know. I am pretty sure I cut the 12" down to make 7". Just love it. Drive my family nuts playing all the time in car lol
Now this is a musical wave that I can ride smoothly & freely, all while suffused with this euphoric & magical bliss that percolates all throughout my whole being, sweetly & dreamily. Love it🤗🤗😊😊👍👍
Heard this one many years ago.It was played in the back ground of on a spot et show.I forget who they where interviewing.Thanks so much for uploading this.
a perfect instrumental version - I am still looking for 2 other versions: Michael McDonald - Sweet Freedom Release Needs Vote MCA Records · MCAT 1073 · 12" · 1986 · UK Track: Sweet Freedom (TRS Mix) Track: Sweet Freedom (Silas Mix)
I am sure it's Quincy Jones band it's has the tight well honed produced sound amazing. I did see a credit on Ya Mo be there. Also Quicny has huge at that era. I always thought this track had a jazz synth fusion sound. Blown away by the 2nd part and Quincy immediately popped into my head. I need to look into it to 100% to confirm but my ears telling me Quincy 😊 link below in the info mentions Quincy. th-cam.com/video/YxhUPbPgmc8/w-d-xo.html
@@edgarbeat275 This song is all Rod Temperton and no Quincy. The regular version of this song has a synth bass, which has no credit, but may be sax player Larry Williams.....but the long version has a bass guitar solo, a "rhythm" guitar solo & an "acoustic guitar w/scat" solo. The regular version credits Paul Jackson, Jr for guitar, who also plays bass. So I believe it's him, as there is no other guitar player at that time that scatted other than George Benson. The sax solo is also Larry, the Trumpet solo is the Master Jerry Hey ...
Could listen to that all day long! Love it, makes me happy!!!
I love it.... The Horns are f**king killing me...

It was because I have the 12" and it with other versions was on it.
@@gerardmcmillan8591 It’s still a great film and video is funny. Such a shame #GregoryHines is no longer with us. Very funny guy.
Great backing track to use for a saxophone. I never heard this on the sax it should be interesting :)
