[cheekiepetes]

I remember Crackers in Wardour Street! Great tune, great club.

This man had made almost 90 albums since 1956. And this is rare case when quality still accounted

[dholmes974]

Opening cut for WRPI on Saturdays in 1976!

[heptyd]

This is the R.O.G. band with Stevie Wonder backing Ramsey on this cut.

To bad Stevie's synthesizer solo was erased on the one. He was smokin'

and played the melody here.

[audiracer52]

[UpperPaleolithicMan]

Do you guys know Maurice White from EW&F was the drummer for the Ramsey Lewis Trio - genius loves company! :D

[trademark1874]

@UpperPaleolithicMan Yup, mainly in the late 60's, an album to point out with Maurice and the Trio is "Another Voyage" great stuff ;)

[heckto35]

@UpperPaleolithicMan Yep! He also drummed for other artists too.

[medici48]

Brings back great memories of Sutton Scamps & Global Village. Wish those days were back again. Great times :)

[gdsmusica]

Incrível, essa música tormou-se parte do meu cotidiano.

Achei p/ comprar o LP original - antigo, mas o som excelente.

[jojuemontacaballo]

[stephenbyron77]

[nicky1703]

it reminds me of stevie's music on "music of my mind" album

[HowieP]

This was written by and features Stevie Wonder!

[nesmartin89]

This one of Ramsey Lewis i like best, like the finger rolling here and the Bass adlib in here is terrific. One of the Jazz Fusion Icon. Live it Up!

[allenlevelle]

Stevie Wonder wrote this composition for him. Check out the title track, Love Notes. Stevie also wrote that for Ramsey.

[superstrut75]

[MikeIdy6000]

[jazzfunk61]

I think ive still got this album somewhere......

thank you Stevie and Ramsey!

[persimon1215]

awesome cool tune!

hav a many many unque sound in here

[FIGHTSEEN]

Love Ramsey.He used to dip into the that fusion of funk & jazz I call RARE GROOVE on the regular.Great music.

[chadastanley]

This has got to be by far the sickest coolest groviest song ever.

[muzklvr65]

Iwas 9 or 10 the first time I heard this and I've never forgotten it.......Thnx for the post

[koolanddagang12]

Got to see him in Detroit. He's the bestttttt and this song is boss

[jeffbenson]

perfect song for today

[glen0701]

Great piece of music

[glen0701]

One of my favourite pieces of music of all time

[scoleman29]

Sping High is a awesome tune. If you listen closely you hear Ramsey scattin along with the piano solo like Thelonius. HOT!

[teakawks00]

Sounds like Stevie. I saw Ramsey perform this one at Slippery Rock State University in 75. I also saw him open for EWF around the same time at Pittsburgh's Civic Arena. That was when RL was hot with his "Sun Goddess" release. Great time period. Great bassman on Spring High. Paul Jackson, maybe???

[scoleman29]

I think the bass player on this album is Ron Harris I believe.

[GoneBallistik]

You guessed it. Stevie Wonder was on keyboard. My father still got that album.

[mattmusi64l]

I love that you posted the great "Spring High" by Ramsey Lewis off the "Love Notes" LP. I wish they'd reissue that as a CD because the title song is nowhere else in the universe but on that vinyl record!

When you get a chance, could you please (mr. postman!) post "Love Notes". It is also a classic slow groove. Both songs, I do believe, were written by Stevie Wonder.

[trademark1874]

Think this is one of his best solos i have heard from him 02:11

[potcwe2]

Words fail me so Ill just listern again and again and..............

[BENNETT1k60]

would love to buy a drink for the guy who, in the eighties,gave me a Ramsey Lewis album, i have been a big fan since. Great nights in THE COUNTY INN. Thursday nights were Brilliant. If you read this leave a message.

[Ryoocoo]

[oldskoolfreakbc]

Superb , saw Ramsey live at Watford in the early '80's playing this live, AWESOME!

[skas246]

This is the first Ramsey track that I heard back in 1976 when I was 14 years old and it still sounds as fresh today as it did then. Good music never ages! Thanks Ramsey!
