My teenage daughter is discovering D@B, Nu Jazz, etc. To share this with her and seeing her buzzing on it is a great feeling. This real beauty and magic.
The transition sequence into dnb at 03:00 remains one of music’s great moments. Also it’s really amazing that this mob made the mental rave track Cookin Up Ya Brain in early 92 and were doing this just 6 years later. Both are great but what an evolution
I always think it's kind of odd how 4Hero's T&J tracks get so much attention, yet there are loads of other 4Hero productions that are even better that go relatively unnoticed. Not complaining though, as it's still pretty affordable to get a lot of their none-T&J back catalogue relatively cheaply on wax.
D B The original version by Rotary Connection of course ! Pure and untainted without this drum and bass nonsense. Just my opinion but at the end of the day as a species we can’t all like the same thing can we 🙂 ??
D B You haven’t replied as I assume you feel a bit unsurprisingly silly 🤡 ! l do hope that at least you have taken the opportunity to listen to the , as l said original, 1971 version of this tune ,by Rotary Connection featuring the magical voice of the legendary, late, great Minnie Ripperton which together with her fellow band members reinforces my response to your question ! Peace and love DB 🙂
These are one of those songs that whenever they play you have to play it right until it stops on its own ...you just have to let it play mannn it's a beautiful song 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
first of all .classical,dreamy kind of drum and bass .construction of . wow.purists will say cant work .how wrong can they be . music will always prevail .its how we as people percieve music to be.long live music
This is an absolute masterpiece, it is timeless and unsurpassed. It is able to effortlessly raise its BPM levels from chilled to drum and base. A total classic in every way shape and form
This song halped me alot. We live in a world that accepts everything that shine fake , gold turns yellow but without black there is no light. This song is giving me strainght! I want to contribute to every person who is shining like black gold and still are giving the lights! Gold si not all about shine, somethimes is -black . Dear GOD, bless every persong who is reading this and give them light!
Love this track! Jazzanova played this at Coachella in 2006, closing out the Gobi tent on Sunday night. My girlfriend (now wife) and I dancing and laughing - such a joyful night. This song always transports me right back….
this blows the door off most other sounds out there, has the feeling of victory, its retro futuro and so now...living here in the states in midwest, you never hear anything this innovative...LOVE IT, feel reborn
I have already posted bout this track, months ago. I have it on my phone and have to say, its been played everyday(more than once) for the last 17 months. i HAVE BEEN VERY VERY ILL AND ALMOST DIED( A FEW TIMES) BUT BOY MUSIC LIKE THIS MAKES LIFE WORTH LIVING. 4 hero U HELPED A DYING MAN LIVE. Yup its that good. Without doubt the most played track in my collection and i got thousands a tunes. Thank you from from deep within. Jam
The lads from 4 hero do every track justice that they remix, not just dnb artists but highly articulate musicians in their own right who have a very broad plain of musical knowledge and imagination
This tune is absolutely beautiful!! I love it with a passion!! Extremely good music!! Gives me the butterflies in the stomach feeling with goosebumps!!
I lost all the music off my hard drive 3 years back, which was at least 80% of my CD music collection digitalised. It was one of the few things that could get my eyes watery. Found this tune the day after the recovery software the IT company used failed (by chance). It has changed my life forever! I can't look at a "failure" in my life without thinking about how I'm going to grow from it!!
OMG! It's a boiling hot day but this tune still gives me more goose bumps then a dead chicken! The shivers shooting down my back are like having 10,00 volts flowing through my spinal cord! It's just an amazing remix. Love the way it does not switch until halfway through.
This takes me back to 1996-97 Body and Soul NYC when they would play this, just in time for a water break from all the dancing and I would get lost into this song.....LOVE IT! Then I'd go back to the dance floor and continue the night away. Such a special time in life, not like that anymore. Peace out!
Heard it in a small bar in Paris, I simply can´t stop listening to it and just relax... Its truly a masterpiece that says " we made great music in the 70´s too you know"
Where have I been all my life, heard this on the radio a couple of days ago. It has to be the best music I've ever heard , anyone have any other recommendations of music like this?
You would like a lot of 4hero's material if you like this. For example, check out their tracks 'Golden age of life', 'Escape That' and Bed of Roses. They are a similar style, there are many more great tracks though. You may also like Quantic Soul Orchestra, Quantic and Jazzanova, if you haven't listened to them already! Hope this helps!
First time I heard this was when I was on vacation in Greece overlooking the Aegean Sea with my fiancé, now hubby! Breathtaking view...I did not realize that this was a re-make! The original is just as good! Minnie Rippleton was in that band...cant remember the name of the band...
quality thro and thro ! first time i heard this was in a "fancey" clothes shop in sevenoaks where you had to ring a bell to go in, i was then greeted by two 50+" ladys who lunch" running the shop, 1 hour later had spent a fortune and was directed to small proper music shop "the compact disc" where i bought this cd !!! the rest is history ! thanks
This is possibly my favourite remix of a track ever, if a human soul could speak of the beauty of life this is the sound it would make, all time classic, epic and vast, dego, kirk, take a bow, when i heard this many years ago, i had thought it could not be bettered, i still think that today..
Hey, anyone who doesn't feel what this tune really does to you should just stick to listening to all the jank that is flung at their eardrums everyday from mainstream tv and commercial radio. This is just fantastic. Love it!!!
I still don't know how they could change so dramatically their style of music prior to this. They were into really heavy drum and base style of music. I do think this is one of my all time favorite tunes. Just takes you away
This takes me to another place.....a warm, sandy beach with a pina colada in hand and a harem of beautiful women around me. Then the drums kick in.....mystical
thanks...the original was done by Rotary Connection, a big influence on us.
I gave birth to this song
Je vous embrasse de tout mon coeur . Catherine (crammed) :-)
This track came up on an old skool playlist, while I was in the garden, in the sun with headphones on. Damnnnnnn music for the soul 🕊️🧡
@@kirstydoel7099 Your child is blessed :)
@@alxdiablo .... that he is ❤️
Can the drummer get some love .. he killed it ....
This is the first tune my son ever heard, 30 minutes after he was born.
Respect. Hope you’re still playing it for him
Lucky chap xo
Although he did hear music in the womb
This or the Original Rotary Connection with Minnie Riperton??
Good parenting!
there are a lot of people who regard this as the finest musical recording in history

Only Louis Vega said this was the best remix he'd ever heard,
makes me proud to have known these guys from their begining.
Exactly 💯
To see, witness this at the Jazz Cafe with her singing and Louie Vega directing was amazing.
This is the best song ever made. It has everything : all the rythms, all instruments, and those vocals ! It is just the perfect tune
👍
@Oliver Godfrey You've begun a journey that wiĺl take you places you'll never forget.
It’s good ,but not as mystical as the original in my opinion 😊 !

The original version by Rotary Connection of course !

Whenever I play this at home my puppy just goes on a magical journey,he just stands still and goes into some sort of trance 💞🌸🌈❤️
Puppus knows. Higher plane, n'all that.

I truly believe that all of us who absolutely adore this track are bonded in spirit. It is not just a song but a way of thinking, a way of living.
Very well put
The greatest remix ever. Just immense

That DnB beat goes with this mix so sweetly
Love this track! Jazzanova played this at Coachella in 2006, closing out the Gobi tent on Sunday night. My girlfriend (now wife) and I dancing and laughing - such a joyful night. This song always transports me right back….
Oh my! I 've got to look to see if Jazzanova ever did a recorded cover.
A man who can write this is an ascended soul among us..
This is utopia! Summers afternoon, cold beer and this choon!
one of the best remix's ever? i think so
It never gets old. What a killer track! I've listened to this probably hundreds of times. Never got bored.
with me forever. one of the greatests tracks (remixes) of our times. im proud i;ve got 12's in my home!
this blows the door off most other sounds out there, has the feeling of victory, its retro futuro and so now...living here in the states in midwest, you never hear anything this innovative...LOVE IT, feel reborn
+Iamrhythmrogue im in the mid west too i hear ya!
ritual-like and dope. makes me thinks of Aztecs.....very future-primitive
Just the very notion of these artists working together ...MAW and 4hero
I knew this remix would be next level and it didn't disappoint .
Def in my top 5 favorite tunes of all time!
Never stop making music 4hero!
Aaaaaand at 3:50 it all becomes so, so, clear. I love You, You love me; if only we could all live in peace, love & unity. x
This track instantly takes me to a happy place!
at this point im currently tossing myself off to the music because i am the black gold of the sun

Man, I used to love this track. I did not realize 4hero did most of my favorite tracks back in the day. Timeless stuff!
The original is by Rotary Connection with Minnie Riperton. This is an absolutely lovely cover though! Makes me so happy.
The original song by Rotary Connection brought me here.. love it!
Lisa G
The best, purest version of the tune is by Rotary Connection !
I first heard this song as a kid before TH-cam gained prominence.Waited over 12 years to hear it again...awesome!!!!!
that's awesome. i ripped it from napster or limewire or soulseek over a decade ago! sitting on a hard drive somewhere in my closet.
In the gym on the treadmill listening to this...love it...
The lads from 4 hero do every track justice that they remix, not just dnb artists but highly articulate musicians in their own right who have a very broad plain of musical knowledge and imagination
Insanely good. If I had to choose 1 tune, which expresses the power of club music in general for the common.... this is IT
sentiments exactly
i never get tired of this song. EVER.
This is a THRILL! I so often visit remixes and they don't honor the original song. This is gorgeous enhancement and vision. THANK YOU!
This tune is absolutely beautiful!! I love it with a passion!! Extremely good music!! Gives me the butterflies in the stomach feeling with goosebumps!!
all time classic slowmo soul dance track, missed this for so long...
same.
Wanda Circus ditto and I bought it when it was released 🎶🎶🎶

Loved it upon release and still love it now. Outstanding.
Same & agreed.
Totally ...this never gets old to me.DOPE!
This gives me goosebumps...Elevates & Uplifts my Soul Evey time...
🔥 Y.N.W.A 🔥
Same here.
Gilles Peterson used to play this, when it came out, on his radio show. Some of the best drum'n'bass from the mid-ninties. 4 Hero came from Willesden.
OMG! It's a boiling hot day but this tune still gives me more goose bumps then a dead chicken! The shivers shooting down my back are like having 10,00 volts flowing through my spinal cord! It's just an amazing remix. Love the way it does not switch until halfway through.

Soulful excellence ...those chords after 4m 43..ors.
London in the building with this one, I can hear the soul through the bustling urban streets!
The only remix you could ever want. I play this whilst getting ready to go out and it put's me on such a good mood.
I am the black gold of the sun!
Such a joyous and sublime piece of music. Timeless classic.
4Hero / Maximum Style / Tom & Jerry is a gift to the world.
4Hero 4Ever LUV
Masters at Work played this at we out here 2022 - cosmos went on pause
Heard it in a small bar in Paris, I simply can´t stop listening to it and just relax...
Its truly a masterpiece that says " we made great music in the 70´s too you know"
Here's to a lifetime of good music with your kiddos!!!

sheldon1983 thanks I appreciate the reply xD!
Had that effect on me first time I heard it too.
Grabs you by the bollocks this tune.
Also try anything by Atjazz.
Charles Mitchell Rotary Connection...in the thumbnails to the right.
imo, the greatest remix ever made
pure quality, a friend of mine played this at a party on the beach yesterday, went down a storm
TUUUUUUNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First time I heard this was when I was on vacation in Greece overlooking the Aegean Sea with my fiancé, now hubby! Breathtaking view...I did not realize that this was a re-make! The original is just as good! Minnie Rippleton was in that band...cant remember the name of the band...
Rotary Connection is the group...the original version of this song is on my list of related videos
Nice.
quality thro and thro ! first time i heard this was in a "fancey" clothes shop in sevenoaks where you had to ring a bell to go in, i was then greeted by two 50+" ladys who lunch" running the shop, 1 hour later had spent a fortune and was directed to small proper music shop "the compact disc" where i bought this cd !!! the rest is history ! thanks
Ty, ty, ty! So deep.
Can we just talk about the brilliance of MAW...We, The House Heads
This track is certainly one of the best D&B tracks ever made.
This is possibly my favourite remix of a track ever, if a human soul could speak of the beauty of life this is the sound it would make, all time classic, epic and vast, dego, kirk, take a bow, when i heard this many years ago, i had thought it could not be bettered, i still think that today..
This tune actually touched my heart
wow not heard this in a long long time soooo love this tune ❤❤❤❤
Masterpiece! One of the greatest beats I've ever heard!
A longtime favourite. Never get tired of hearing it. Sublime.
Hey, anyone who doesn't feel what this tune really does to you should just stick to listening to all the jank that is flung at their eardrums everyday from mainstream tv and commercial radio. This is just fantastic. Love it!!!
awsome thank you so much for this posting .brings back so many good memories.LONG LIVE REAL MUSIC.
Gotta be one f the most beautiful songs ever made? The feeling it envokes .... thanks for posting. x

Best listened to stood on a beach in Ibiza watching the sunset!

I still don't know how they could change so dramatically their style of music prior to this. They were into really heavy drum and base style of music. I do think this is one of my all time favorite tunes. Just takes you away
reminds me of tribal gathering in the 90's, some great drum n bass n triphop/chill etc, shit like this lifts the soul, n if not, summats up with ya!
A new discovery for me. Love the atmospheric flavor of this song. Wow.
This is such a beautiful tune!! Really nice atmospheric sounds!!
Fuckin beautiful

@@LHTML royal festival hall
Lucky you 👌
propaply the best remix ever. nuff said
r.i.p. john, may this song sooth you for the rest off time
The remix album made my year way back when, this tune in particular.
One of the most perfect cuts from the period.
A great artist creates a great remix of a great cover of a great song by another great artist
