@bobbihumphrey I first saw Bobbi Humphrey on theTonight Show in the early 70's or late 60's. Johnny Carson invited her up from the audience and she blew everybody away. Ms Humphrey was then offered and played with Doc Severson's band the rest of that night. Ms Humphrey could you please confirm or clarify this story for me. I have been a fan ever since. Oh by the way I purchased this LP three times, the first 2 were stolen. Still groovin with you. Thank you for creating memories for us.
For years when visiting NYC I would see Ms Humphrey at events regualarly. Since I relocated here a year ago! I have not seen her once! Any one know of her where abouts?
I am so grateful that I was around and appreciated this and so many other artists when this sound was new and exciting. to me, This era will never die. Is stands the test of time.
this is what i was listening to in 1973 in L.A. just before i enlisted in the navy. didn't know i'd be at great lakes naval training center the next year. chicago, damn. those were days of great music.
I love it, I first listened to Bobbie Humphrey in 1976, I was a Sophomore in College at Paine College, 1235 15th Street, Augusta, Ga 30901. HBCU College
@BigOldCheeks Soooo.. how's it working out now ... 45 years on which would make this your 6th decade on the planet (at a minimum)? Hope its been worth the choices and I wish you continued prosperity - even if only cos you have a funny screenname .. lol!!
Awesome little lady...a true Satin Doll...it's not the outside only...check out the inside...take your time and relax your mind...harmony is good for you & me!
Hello people of YouTube. I'm a female MC from Dallas, Texas. I have a song/video of me rapping to I Use to Love H.E.R. by Common(REAL HIP-HOP). Check it out and let me know what you think. Thank you! By the way, I love this freakin' song!! Love me some Bobbi Humphrey
@MsYogib: PREACH ! Wouldn't it be great if today's music arose simply from concept? noooo, no-one can play an instrument anymore & grooves that are up to 40-45 years old HAVE to be used. Wow! Now THAT'S talent! What I want to know is...what will future generations do when all the "host" songs have been used? Translation: if you want to create a track, better start dusting off those metronomes & open up a book. To the younguns': don't get all indignant...in 20 years, you'll see 4yourself !
Im tired of these old motherfuckers saying that sampling is stealng. We are paying respect to your generations music so show us young folks some respect in return, peace out.
@LawrinMaxwellsmpc500 Just wait until someone sample one of your BEST jams and you'll be in groove then you'll realize someone has stepped all over some of your best tracks and it ain't your track then you'll feel like why they mess that up ...now that they sampling where are all the new young musicans come in to play...the art is to bring in a new sound...but I think they must be brain dead because they are sampling ... we should've new sounds each week ...Go ask George Clinton or James Brown,
@Jammon2009 Lots of great work has been done with sampling and a lot of it really is a new sound, completely different from the source it was sampled from. Lots of producers work closely with "real" musicians to produce totally new work.
Music is just an arrangement of sounds. Any sounds can be used to compose it.
PAY ATTENTION YOU LIL YOUNG MUFUCCAS !! THIS IS REAL MUSIC, PURE INSTRUMENTATION, NO COMPUTER SHIT, JUS MAN, INSTRUMENTS AND MUSIC!! REALLY LISTEN TO EVERY NOTE AN YOU WILL THEN KNOW WHAT MUSIC IS!! THERES NOT ONE THING AFTER 1999, THAT I CAN CONSIDER REAL MUSIC!!
@DAGUTTA100 That keeps coming up! The fact that I can't remember any really great music that has come out since the 90's and others keep saying the same thing. I dont what it is. I know it has alot to do with the technology age and digitalized music. I love hip hop but I start to hate sampling and the overuse of computers to make music. What happened to real session playing, jamming, and LIVING your music. Guys back then were great at their respective instrumentalists but they LIVED the music.
@fatangel420 I think you are right but there are spots in the U.S. that still have a thriving subculture and music scene. Nashville Tenn has a unique sound and music scene that they stay true to for one. Many bigger cities have given in to the glamour of the "Rock star" life to the point where the music is third to the money fashion etc
@DAGUTTA100 You oughtta check out the stuff that Daptone Records are putting out. Check out Charles Bradley "The World Is (Going Up In Flames)" - backed by the equally wonderful Menahan Street Band. Budos Band might also be up your alley too, the label backs a ton of great artists, check them out!
I love her music!!! My mother used to play Bobbi's music all the time when I was about 4 or 5 years old. Thank God for music like this. It is excellent!!!
This song, to me, is a perfect example of a sound scape type song. Meaning a song you can close your eyes and visualize riding your car, bike or just taking a walk in the park in the summer or winter. Grown folk music does that to you.lol.
I remember my older sister listening to this and I was like who is that! I start off kind smooth and then I gets all rough at the end! That's a musical seduction because they are just singing about a street but the sound blends with it so perfectly.
I picked up this album on the run and when I got home i was not disappointed at all. Bobbi delivered then and still does! This is Smooth Jazz....from the 70's!!!
this is the kinda groove that informed the culture of those of us who were responding to the forces that gavew birth to hip hop
how can we seperate hip hop fron michael jackson prince gil scott heron or anything else that might have been played on either KTU or BLS or KISS back in the day
you know a hip hop artist that wasnt groovin to hall and oates back in the day?
cmon people
music isnt limited to those little labels at the record schops
I love the sound Donald Byrd, the Mizell brothers and the Blackbyrds developed. Place, Spaces and Things is one of my favorite songs. I wish someone would bring all that jazz funk back.
Every Generation, ERA, Genre, Has its place in the realm of music. Music is the Universal Language for those who understand , and explore the variations
- cont. No artist that I know comes from the ghetto of urban America then suddenly jumps to riding in million dollar limos, lear jets, and flashes jewelry adorned in gold with women at their call who looks like glamour models or club strippers with a handfull of thousand dollar bills to throw around. Music is a lifetime of hard work and such rewards are rare. But not by today's artist who claim otherwise by their videos.

@chenarch The Soul of Philadelphia! I lived on the same block as former 'DAS assistant manager Cody Anderson I'm friends with his sons Billy & Kyle. Great times.
I had this on a compilation CD back in the day when I was all into the soul jazz funk and acid jazz scene and never knew this waa a sista playing this beautiful song.
Does anyone know if the Black Byrds and the backing vocals?
the black birds backed her on this one. Donald Byrd produced them out of Howard University in the '70s. I really don't know her connection with the Black Birds or Donald Byrd, google them.
Love. This. Song. Is the whole album like this, this 'Shaft like' style....? God, this sounds terrific, I have a compilation album (Look into the Flower) that has this song on it, and it's my fav one on that record.

J-WAVEのノンストップパワープレイという番組でオンエアーされていてそれで知ったのだ。ロンドンのRADIO STATIONでアシッドジャズとか70年代辺りのブラックミュージックを沢山オンエアーしていたようである。KISSーFM だったか？エアチェックしたけど紛失とか劣化してしまったり、カセットデッキも使わなくなってしまったから聴けない。ロンドンていいなあ、こういういい曲が聴けるから。日本のFMはつまらん番組が多いような気がする。日本の放送局しっかりして、真実を報道して。あれ？。もう1回あの頃ON AIRされたノンストップパワープレイのロンドンのDJのアシッドジャズ專門の番組全部聴き直したい。

I had this on a compilation CD back in the day when I was all into the soul jazz funk and acid jazz scene and never knew this waa a sista playing this beautiful song.
Does anyone know if the Black Byrds and the backing vocals?

the black birds backed her on this one. Donald Byrd produced them out of Howard University in the '70s. I really don't know her connection with the Black Birds or Donald Byrd, google them.

Love. This. Song. Is the whole album like this, this 'Shaft like' style....? God, this sounds terrific, I have a compilation album (Look into the Flower) that has this song on it, and it's my fav one on that record.
