[izmarmusic]

One of the chillest intros, tunes, riffs, productions, compositions, pretty much everything! And I thoroughly dig Fresh Prince's version too :) And I love how this tune is sampled in some of UK triphop (e.g. nightmares on wax)

[blckmgc322]

best song to cruise down Lake Shore Drive to on a beautiful summer night...gonna do it again next summer

[nametakenuse]

I was up working on a roof back in 1975 the first time I heard this. The sound just flowed. , So much crap had gone-on and gone-down in late 60's and early 70's which seemed to affect most everything and everyone. The majority of music played by the pop am and new fm music stations in the mid '70s, to my ears, sounds sterile and meaningless. Anyway, the stereo is on downstairs and suddenly I hear this sound carrying waves of fascination and peace through the air. Feels the same to hear it now.

[ArchAid1]

Why hasn't anyone noted Will Smith's shameless heist of this song for his summer-time? .. I love Will's rendition and everything. And to be fair, he does give credit to the original.. but still :)

[MisterVista]

4:20 ;)

[BKerve5894]

remember rocky played this on his record after his first fight

[CSX5340]

Those 2 dislikes don't know what music is i'm only 14 and this better than all this new gay jungle music

[vivluvstheheart]

@CSX5340 I totally agree with you.. Music is from the soul.. and if you don't have passion in your soul .. you will not know what the true meaning of music is.. You're a very bright 14 year old..

[yungtrev1222]

Rocky

[5DeadlyRecords]

@xSTILEMAx To be fair, this is '74, and Bill did the soundtrack in 77.....but you're right, it was wholesale theft. But my god, can you blame him (or the countless others)??

[xSTILEMAx]

@5DeadlyRecords whay you mean man ????

[5DeadlyRecords]

@xSTILEMAx I mean that the track 'Reflections' on the Rocky soundtrack is from 77' and this, the song from which it was HEAVILY influenced was released in 74'. You do the math

[xSTILEMAx]

@5DeadlyRecords no you did not get there in the first Rocky 'by the scene where he fed the turtles, you should review the scene because in the end there under' Summer Madness by Kool and the gang try and see

[aguilar69]

[nostoppingnow]

@youknowwhichone Picture me jumping on the roof of that car and pulling you out of the window and hold you over the top off my head, then the run away car smashes into a phone pole. as we both go flying through the air your body absorbs the shock of mine as we hit a wall and you explode. I then run down the street thrwing your guts at moving cars.

[youknowwhichone]

@nostoppingnow FUCK YEAH! THATS THE WAY I WANT TO GO!! NOTHING LEFT BABY! NOTHING!!!!!

[melasun07]

@cliffabrown If you're talking about the solo that starts at 1:32 of this track (which is what I'm talking about), I'm pretty sure you're wrong. The keyboard starts at 2:20. This is my all time favorite song folks...

[kayin4o8]

[DOMINATERKID]

Roll a fatty to this one.

[nostoppingnow]

Picture. 1 am. A hot summer night with no aircondition. trying to beat the heat ,they lye asleep naked on the sweat filled sheets in a one room apartment on the lower east side of town. A dog barking off in the distance, the sound of the subway , a baby crying. Summer Madness coming from a clock radio turned down low.

[dogstar1967]

@nostoppingnow I think you just hit the nail on that one!

[JTruth9419]

I love this song. It's calm and "moody" at the same time.
