[ogrebattle22763]

This is way back in the day when music was WELL SIMPLY MUSIC AT IT'S BEST...

[brnnnn3]

Music just doesn't get any better than this!!!

[junedeon]

I remember listening to this over and over while I played the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time video game on the SNES, and it gave me the motivation I needed to finally defeat the Shredder! I'm an ass.

[brokecolla]

@junedeon came to the song cos i love it.. saw your personal recollection an loved it more . ha thanks for making me laugh out loud. cheers mate.

[petetwentytwo]

Lovely feelgood factor to this song when you hear it.Transports me back to the late 70's when things were better and brighter.

[snakehunter1964]

i remember being about 14 or 15(1979-80) and playing this cassette on my jambox while walking around the block in my neighborhood. ;) i was really dancing more than walking! sometimes i felt like i would come up off the ground it had my spirits so high! :) i haven't had music do me like that in a long time!

[4cez]

Absolutely love this song, great song to listen to while driving

[hwgreen]

[thor628]

One of their Top 5 songs ever....do you guys agree?!?

[prknight01]

What a great song :) how can you not like this song? The 5 ppl that dislike this song have issues lol

[superviewer]

5 people CAN let go ;)

[dmcarden]

i remember playing this over and over when i got home from high school after i bought it.

[tinian33]

@dmcarden That's too funny! I did the same thing when I first got this album, and this is coming from someone who was a devout hard rock fan back in my teenage years. This album by EWF opened up my heart and mind to beautiful melodies with catchy harmonics hooks. I Am is my favorite EWF album with its polished production, creative melodic hooks, and its overall "feel good" vibe. Can't Let Go is one of those unique songs that exhibits both an upbeat and melancholic quality.

[dmcarden]

@tinian33 Wow, you expressed it perfectly! The harmonic hooks were amazing, just that synchronization of the beat and background music... I still have an old cassette with it, keep meaning to buy the CD. LOL, I remember my father ran me out of the living room saying it was time to go!! (had his TV there along with our only record player lol).

[fuzztop11]

@dmcarden

I hear you. I played this every chance I had and me and my friend Don would practice this on Bass (Me), and he on Guitar.

2 2 Cool man.

[askadetra]

one of the reasons why earth wind and fire is the best band in this genre. in 1979 from this album the tracks sound like they have been/was recorded in about 2000 year. sorry for my english

[MacEliot]

The Tonight Show band plays this now and then, that's how I remembered it!

[TehBlackGamer]

Played this song in the marching band back in high school. was my favorite song, i wonder why?

[KODALOHA]

EARTHは1979のこのアルバムが一番すきです。

[BBT609]

5 can go to hell. They let go.

[gavlikrobi]

@BBT609 :)

[ewhite16121]

[topdiveribiza1]

[thepivotkill10]

I was privileged to grow up when these guys was around! Once saw them in Birmingham U.K. 1990...amazing !!

[jinsarangi]

@thepivotkill10 Birmingham no bloody way!!! I live there, well i wasn't born until 84' but what the hell OMG!!!!

[RightWingHunter666]

I fucking love this song.. EWF will never be reduplicated

[xxxslayerxxx666]

@RightWingHunter666 of montreal is really good, and each album is a fresh sound from their previous, i'm not relating it to this, but their songs wicked wisdom and girl named hello have some EWF moments in it, but they are way too unique to sound like any other band, they groove, the vocals are amazing and the bass is awesome!.....now their old stuff sound like the beatles but way more psychedelic!

[SuperKillerMthfDude]

5 people CAN let go

[MoNicholasLaird]

AMAZING

[DJMCY510]

why r they not on my ipod smh

[lightbulb3316]

I've played this song 10 times in a row before. I'm not sure what it is, but it just goes through me and I can't get enough of it.

[brainysnaeha]

@lightbulb3316

Don't worry this is earth wind and fire there's nothing like them so you're not a weirdo to keep on repeat this song it just make you feel so happy and the beats is so invincible that you feels like this song have no ending

but it has so you need play it again like me!

[jinsarangi]

@brainysnaeha OMG I soooo feel the same way. Its seems infinite and you need to respect that with a biiig reeeewind!! lol!

EWF forever. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . !

[jinsarangi]

@lightbulb3316 hence the nam cant let go!! lol!

[FeardisPlatano]

@lightbulb3316 Yea me too dude!!! XD

[chesinse2]

[RaceIsOpen]

[lorret90]

the ultimate jazz funk band ever.!!! and who give this the thumbs down!! MORONS..!!

[lalinazlalinova]

Oh God I totally love EWF!!!

[bev3cc]

I am so glad you uploaded this album, I lost the cd during a move and I believe I lost a part of myself with it....thank god for youtube.....

[MyLalapa]

The best band ever, the best songs and the best memories of how the songs made me feel and still do. If ever music could get deep ito your soul, then these guys did just that

[muld2456]

@MyLalapa Yeah, so right!!!

[trezlorenz]

I just love this song!

[mrpapafunky7879]

@trezlorenz LOVE THE WAY IT BREAKS DOWN AT 1 MIN 26 SEC

[MzSarenaX]

I love our little bond here over this song! Magical and Enchanting :-)

I used to have a terrible crush on this guy at work and I would get into my car and blast this song. This, mixed with my infatuation was...wild and made me euphoric as I rocked out! I can't stand the guy now but Lord I still love this track! LOL!

[livermore1980]

Had fun with this song while flying DeHaviland bush plane up in Alaska back in 1979. I was suprised that he music stores up there carried the "I AM" album. Music brings the world together. Try taking off on the water with this song jamming. Today's singers just do not have that soul. That hard soul that only comes through living life through hard times. You can't fake the Blues. You cannot fake genuine soul singing. I blame the music producers. They just want a slickster or bimbo.

[kassbass2010]

Hey - jinsarangi & MzSarenaX

Y'all aren't crazy - did and still play this over and over - getting ready to hit the play button again......now!

[rovekid1]

@VincentsVideoVisions US paratrooper lingo: here, it means "I heartily share you sentiments!!!" :) 

[MzSarenaX]

I played this song over and over and over...i skip rope to it..it inspires me and infuses my soul with happiness :-)

[xXTheWhiteSheepXx]

Hey guys, remember when music was good?

[rovekid1]

@rdartis agree totally

[DavieSilva23]

[pm512]

Best band ever!

Played this album day and night..still have all the vinyl-albums and still play them.....

Love and Respect Always

[headedsomewhere]

yeah me too....saw them in concert last year........

[ittai66]

Same here!

Check out the great (and not common) harmonies on each second bar of the verse

[lindodiplomata]

Música de qualidade, que enriquece a alma, estilo de música que faz muita falta nesses tempos modernos de música sem melodia e letra de boa harmonia e sintonia com os ouvidos. Viva os anos 70!!!

[kidjay823]

My absolute #1 favorite band ever, and one of my favorite tunes. EW&F rules!

[monjieful]

Absolutly the greatest band (R&B) ever

[pukkie2310]

No doubt best band ever.

[Mega70sfan]

One of my EWF fave tracks - thanks for posting

[brainysnaeha]

I try to play these original ewf and the remake by chicago both at the same time

and its results are incredible!

try it!

I think the original from Earth,wind&fire

are the best!

[Tamashiigensou]

First time I heard this was actually by a marching band...After hearing this, WOW...indescribably warm goodness..I feel sorry for this new generation..this is the essence of music/good vibe/s/harmony/composition/ just overall music..

[thepostieles]

classic used to have this on 12inch

[rdangelo]

I got yer 12 inch...

[delbert567]

Truly awesome aint no doubt!

Had the pleasure of seeing these guys in London circa 1988/1989 brilliant to say the least!!!!

RESPECT! E.W.F.

[TheNenejack]

One of my best group bands since 1976

[SoothingSound]

Yeah the album sure is wonderful. Best in my opinion as well.

[zeta71]

Why didn't EWF ever release this as a single? It is among their best songs ever - a combination of the very best aspects of Sing a Song, Serpentine Fire, and Getaway. And, this is my favorite album ever.

[fletchercathey]

This tune is a prime example of EWF's best, that wasn't a commercial success. Thirty years later, it's still my favorite EWF cut.

[msunpredictable86]

This song is hot! Big ups to Maurice White

[peasah2005]

Earth, Wind and Fire are a great funky group, because they had soul and style.

Brother Maurice White and Brother Phil Bailey are the main force of Earth, Wind and Fire.

Man, oh man, these were the days brothers and sisters.

[Gazzatron112]

I cant get this song out of my head. This is one catchy tune and it proves to the world once again why Maurice White is an absolute legend.

[jazzrazzmatazz]

This song is ALWAYS in my head too, Gazzatron112.

[lovezero7]

One of both EWF's and music in general's most unknown gems. One of the all-time underrated songs! Maurice White was and is a GENIUS!!!y

[wonderstuff1961]

This was my 1st Album i bought of E W & Fire and never looked back Love it.

[jazzrazzmatazz]

This was my first Earth, Wind & Fire album, too! It was in cassette form and not in vinyl, though.

[imnazhole]

I lived with my walkman back in the days with this new tape constantly playing in my ear. Ahh, Im there and it is so deliciously Bitter sweet. We'll never get that back but it is so beautiful that it existed in the first place for us.

[Bscientist]

I cant let go, of a love that

Grows,Empty hearts are free, bring,

Your love to me--soul chase the moon

Shadows, hug the room--turn off the

Light and sneak in bed at night--

Darkness shut its eyes, baby, i

Open mine to you

[sootycakes]

me feet r tapping

[MOREHOUSE80]

Thanks Maurice!

We LOVE you!

[gamasfred1]

Yes, Earth but my Earfh is my Earth.
