Roy Ayers music is just timeless. All his music had it going on. Just a bad boy.

[ysea100]

Fear the lord and not the "sheep in wool's clothing" was my rock and savior to build on the temple of our Christ Jesus. Know Man or Woman take away what another knows, especially from experience.

[siergitt]

a tribe called quest sampled this beat I remember that for some awesome reason!

[Gmoneyluv4u]

lol @ bounce am, we gotta gamer on site

[ladyklewis]

me & my grandma use to dance to this. 1989 baby & i still know my music

[willyblaze732]

this is like early house music lol

[GordonBeckles]

@willyblaze732: Absolutely. When we danced to this sound in the mid/late 70s... it was in the same "spirit" as when we danced to house years later. I'm now 52 years old and still seek the same "feel" in music no matter what the decade. My kids appreciate soulful house, jazz, latin, Motown and classical for the same reasons. A "feeling" that goes far beyond a big beat. ;- )

[inctedzik]

Bounce FM!

[MrAnt422]

One person doesn't like the vid : it's the boss of VEVO who has just noticed that the video isn't in the motherfucking Very Evil Video Organization

[mohawk58]

Put this song in a time capsule. Open it in 50 years. And people will still be feeling it.

[crystyluvfirstlady]

Whaaaaaaaaaaat!



[BigMiniFilmz]

[squirrellips1]

If youre not dancin on this one YOURE NOT BLACK -  LET IT OUT !!!!!!!!!! Jewel

[dlucas7787]

@squirrellips1 why do you have to be black???

[hibiscusfreak]

@dlucas7787 You don't. I'm white and I'm dancing, lol.

[TerrorTown7575]

@hibiscusfreak who cares what your doing. Fucking chump.

[hibiscusfreak]

@TerrorTown7575 Well hello there, Mr./Ms. Hatred. Did you have a bad little day?

[epps760]

@dlucas7787 You dont HAVE to be, but to deny the majority of listeners in it self seems pretty ignorant to me. besides, back in those days blacks did consider this music made by blacks, for blacks, just how it was back then.

[dlucas7787]

@epps760 no need for those comments today--I am Black

[woodfordfunkhunter]

@epps760 guess that depended on where you lived and who you mixed with. cant say thats how it was seen in my recollection:)

[Reggieftl1]

@squirrellips1 LOL.....I like that!!!

[carlatyip]

[telak2]

[yippee1999]

[Liukang98AnToNiO]

I like this song.

[TerminatorX87]

Does everybody sample this guy, lol?

[feegio]

1 person couldn't run away. What a shame, LOL!

[njplr]

Another one of the 500 reasons I prefer 70's dance music to any other (or "disco" as those of us unapologetic enough to still call it by its true name do) what an unbelievable outpouring of FABULOUS music, no wonder clubs were packed 7 nights a week back then. I defy ANYONE to sit still while this is playing.

[IMHipHopNY77]

Thank God for Roy Ayers...Thank God for A Tribe Called Quest...

[partyhardydardy]

goddamn ive been dancing to this song for 2 hours

[whoknew06]

@partyhardydardy I been dancing for two months off this song only and let me tell ya that it brightens my day everytime I hear it... I just dance my way on down the streets of Cali and be in my zone!!!

[partyhardydardy]

@whoknew06 Seriously man. It just sets you up for a great day.

[bpw84]

Sampled, masterfully, by Tribe. Love it!

[cdrom5]

I remember my older cousin-who I thought was was quiet hip- showing my sister and I the official dance moves to this track . Didn't know it was gonna become a Jazz Funk anthem back then.

A million dislikes couldn't stop the beat in my feet as this tune reaches deep baby !!

[Revelator72]

Absolute perfection is rarely seen in life and art, but this an example right here.

Also I'm convinced that a lot of these classics on YouTube have the same troll accounting for the one dislike, been seeing the 100's to 1 ratio on a bunch of classic break posts.

[labrownification]

Once again, the 70's rock! i just wish everyone knew this.

[Virgo912Lady]

@labrownification I've said it before and I'll say it again: there's nothing like 70's music.

[bless20001]

Spectacular!!! This was one of my late brother's favourite tunes. He was one of the baddest dancers in East Lonodon. Massive track!

[sudoroman]

I remember back in the day roller skating to this.

[hersheybar4u01]

Me, Trina ' Greer ,High school Olney high '' wonderful Philadelphia Pa. , Love this song ! thanks for the memories Roy Ayers !

[brion2010]

[brentonfoxx]

[BmoreFunkateer]

[sircharlesgraham]

@BmoreFunkateer

[jae88ro]

Grand Theft Auto put me on!!!

[MamaChoobie]

I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it in the 70's. It still affects me so deeply. Mr. Ayers, you are an angel. xo

[dawnhewitt1]

One of the best, most classic songs ever!!! Can't help but do a little dance every time I hear it, thanks for sharing!!!

[aholmes99]

Roy Ayers The King of Vibes!!! Still Rockin'!!!

[stessiebrook]

This song will forever be amazing.

[sexybj89]

21 y/o and spent countless of hours searching google for this song just by the chorus! I finally found it!

[chatege75]

Does anyone remember A Tribe Called Quest's description of a fool ?

[kstorm93]

@chatege75 I totally remember that, that was actually my favorite album out of all the ones ATCQ dropped....they always had a lot of respect for the old school. This track is timeless....

[IMHipHopNY77]

@chatege75 No Doubt ... 2:48

[ltinsley2]

@chatege75 do i? they sampled it so well they made me wanna find the original. they were the first hip hop group to fuse rap with jazz. pioneers, trailblazers whatever you wanna call them........they changed the game in rap. no one sampled jazz samples, everyone jus used the same James Brown samples. Ali Shaheed Muhammed, Tip, Phife and Jarobi changed the landscape of hip hop

[ltinsley2]

@chatege75 do i??? i STILL play it to this day! Ali Shaheed Muhammad rocked this sample. he slowed it down a bit tho

[albclef]

Man this feels right, soul music will never die.  i LOVE THIS

[MisterCrazyLegs]

AWW, SOOKIE-SOOKIE, NAH'!!!...What ya'll know 'bout this, right cher' ?....shut yoo, mickey-fickey mouth, this shit was OFF THE DAMM CHAIN, back in the day...somebody pass me a joint please, while I get my swahili dance on!!!

[abowlofsoul]

When your hear this song, you got to have attitude, soul and some funk. This is the Black National Anthem baby. It can't get no hotter than this!!! Word to my mother!!!

[AS495AS]

@abowlofsoul ...And white girls like this, too!

[BlackPride1000]

All Us Men & Women Who were Born In The Sixties Experience The Best Of The

Best Of Black Music. The 70s, Dont Need to Mention All The Bands. All The Way

Until The Early 90s. God Knows. The House Parties, The Clubs Without "Shoot

Outs" Nice Pair Of Slacks, Shoes, and a Sharp Crisp Shirt. DAMM!! R/B was for all

Generations Young and Old. --Hip Hop-- PLEASE..

[BlackProfessor1990]

@BlackPride1000 Old men have their memories, young men have their dreams. In a psychological context, people who live in the past, for whatever reason, have nothing to look forward to but destitution, deterioration and default. What is the current state of Getto Riddims in Belmopan. That's the capital brother. You need to know that.

[Jesterday70s]

Funky and smooth at the same time...

[LucienFoort]

this is the foundation on which most of present day r&b, dance and pop is built on. you cant no any future if you don't know your history

[alumnicolumbia]

people just dont no about old school mom and dad cuts they were playing when you was running around the house in pampers when company was over. you stupid young kids you dont no shit about classy music because you were not born in this real error! dumb asses killing people over dumb rap music instead of appreaciating real music

[meandemjay]

@tine214 - well, u asked

[fdmtech]

This is classic disco and hip sounds!

[meandemjay]

@tine214 - this is what they used to call the "LP"....the 12-inch...in other words, the long version

[mercivelli]

one of my favorite cuts

[imnewman1]

there were so many diverse artist that had major "disco" hits this being a prime example. Then when the Homophobes got their way and effectively killed disco as came to know it ,none of these artist stood up for the genre that made them wealthy or famous..that being said this song would pack the floor everytime..

[meandemjay]

when i was little i thought they were singing "billy due"! LOL!

[jazzydad999]

Kept hearing this song being played on the Michael Baisden show. Never knew the title. Glad I downloaded the app to find out.. Love it.. Good Music...

[brainysnaeha]

I think i remembered this song,It's from GTA san andreas bounce fm!

[decjko]

@brainysnaeha also in Driver 4

[flyboyII]

@tine214, I think this is the version from the 12" vinyl, aka the "long" version. The xylophone solo makes this piece that much more awesome.

And how good is that bass guitar part? Epic!

[blkpopeye]

Roy Ayers is BAAAAAAAD

[ftlotmusic]

I close my eyes and let Roy take me back to the best times !!!!

[ftlotmusic]

I close my eyes and let Roy take me back to the best times !!!!

[olive2g]

[Wnunubian]

This song can out in 1977...the year I entered Howard University. Everybody from NY-NJ-CT who could hustle wass dancing to this song.

[digifalc0087]

I like how you have no pictures, no video. You let the song itself run. Awesome. I have music videos in my head already that are better than any that can be put out :-)

[HALFDEAD66]

I wish the likes of Mr.Ayers would open a music school to teach these lames what music is and how to put out a quality product.

[lametta33]

The Xylophone-part is the best!!!!!!!!!! Shit, what a funk is this - yeah!

[digifalc0087]

@lametta33 Yes, that xy is a BAD part. I like the electric piano part, too.

[lametta33]

@digifalc0087

Oh yes, I love the whole song! I wonder that you know and like this song, because you´re sooooo young!!!!!!!! :-D

[2cland]

No matter what I'm going through when I hear real music like this all my problems disappear. This song and many of his other songs STAY on repeat.

[aardvarkdoc]
