    "Before we leave you, there's a musical message, from the Doctor ... Doctor Gibbs."
    Oh man, what a message indeed. This song is one of the most significant pieces of my life, ever since.
    Thank you Grover and your buddies.

    Whenever I hear this wonderful and timeless music, I thank God for my eldest sister. If it weren't for her buying and listening to this music I would have never been exposed to it. I remember the day she bought this album home. A whole new world opened up for me and I've been in love with it ever since. Thx sis.

    My ol man told me he deejayed back n the gap & when he closed it down, this was his outro anthem. I heard this version 1st & thought it was the original for the longest. Love this version more so than the original. Peace to my pops for cleaning out my ears w good music. Love the era I grew up in.

    This is the LP that really got me going with Grover. I know when i first checked him was the last cut on a John Handly LP. I mean he blew the whole LP up. John Handly was asked about Grover and all he said was, "cat can blow". Oh i loved them words, cat can blow.

    Many "jazz reviewers" thought very little of Grover, thinking he was superficial on technique and talents because his music was mainly Jazz funk (jazz fusion). That was until he blew their socks off with the acoustic sounds of the album--Kenny Burrell & Grover Washington, Jr. ‎- Togethering. Anyone who can post this, please do. It is simply brilliant.

      It is not the Congo’s, its a cuica it is in the percussion family originated in Brazil It is a drum open ended with a stick stuck to the drum head, and grazed with violin resin and played with a small pice of shammie leather , which makes a noise and the harder you rub the stick the higher the sound by also pressing the top of the drum head.

    Before we leave you, there's a Musical Message, from the Doctor, Dr. Gibbs! The instrument that he plays is called
    a Quica. It's a Percussion drum like instrument with a stick coming down in the middle. I've always love this song and whole album. Reminds me of when my daughter was born. I was 19 and on a spiritual quest and this album was the sound track of those days. There two Doctors in Philly Dr. J (Julius Ervine) and Dr. Gibbs! Peace and Love
