[MrSvirfneblin]

Is that Jay Graydon on the guitar like in the studio version? That dude there is so young I can't really tell who it is lol...

[Mel0132]

I like JSU, SU, and FAMU arrangements, TxSU does the song no justice

[Godfather1898]

Jackson State University's arrangement by Blake Gaines (Current Morehouse College Band Director and former Juke) was a very good arrangement as well.

[WuvD]

One of his oldest and best albums ...I'm a huge fan of this man and his talent♥♥♥ have listened to him for years, & I wont ever voluntarily stop listening to/enjoying his music... A bonus was that one of the sweetest men I have known knew who this was WithOut me having to tell him....such a heartrub that was ♥♥♥.......and BTW, yes, I did have this on vinyl☺☺☺

[shlokda]

[ElegantPaws01]

And now we know who is the progenitor of Bobby McFerrin

[nightmoves0809]

Love him but sometimes I just want him to get on with it. I fell in love with him due to this song, was not even a teenager.

[MrMedicineMan]

Yeah i have to agree. I do love SU's arrangement. It does go off lol hell i still to hum that AND watch the clip on here every now and then

[NYPBURN]

Great chops in the Ending Trumpet Solo!!!!

[MrTonedeff]

[phssu]

[almindjazz]

No words!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SUPER!!!!!! SINDS 1974 MR. AL JARREAU KEEPS THE MUSIC GOING. WELL.... YOU NEED TO SEE THE SMALL DETAILS IN IN MUSIC AND THE VOICE. I LOVE HIM. I PLAYED IN MANY JAZZ CLUBS IN EUROPE. GOD BLESS YOU ALL

[upt123]

My hat's off to Dr. Greggs and (Eric Baskin ,arranger ) of Southern University for introducing us to a broad range of music. I grew up in New Orleans and my parents owned a nightclub, so I thought my musical taste were varied . but what came out of SU's bandroom in the 70's, 80's, and 90's was amazing to say the least.

[Christo1117]

@upt123 Exactly.....Doc was by far the best...ever.....he really taught me alot that i use today.

[mokacode]

Used to play "this time " and "breaking away" LP's cassettes on repeat back then in my damn french car.lol!Miss you Al and those times....

[naomicgal1]

Love it! Da-na-na..... Da-na-na-na-na-na-na!

[jsutiger07]

i like FAMU's more than SU's version. SU's version is more high schoolish. but FAMU'S more grooving and it's in the same key.

[brimlow313]

@jsutiger07 Its probably because u hear more high schools playing their arrangement.

[black34king]

Southern University was the first marching band to play this in 1983 not to mention Murphy's Law by bro Al!

[alumniJSette99to02]

Texas Southern University Marching Band Sounds almost exact to this....Go Ocean!

[MakingThaMost]

I like JSU's version too. I have been looking on YouTube for about a year to find out who the original artist is.

[creole888]

C'mon na, everybody knows that Southern Univ. version is almost identical

[creole888]

Wow!!!

This is a classic

One of my favorite songs by my favorite artist

[elguillo344]

[3811iberis]

This 1983 jazz/R&B track by All Jarreau is one of my favorites by him, and this live performance of it displays why Al Jarreau is a legendary jazz crooner, magnificent!!
