[jsbondgirl]

@jmat412 I listened him last night in Rovinj, Croatia.... LIVE... :D He's very, very alive ..!!!!

[TheVidkid67]

He's a brilliant bassist, I wonder what he'd be like now if he was still alive.

[grevejp44]

Why is this called school days? I don't remember my school days being this awesome.

[MrEntelechy1]

This album & 'Rocks Pebbles & Sand' really take me back to late 70's early 80's. No doubt about it, when it comes to the bass Stanley is 'The Man !'

[mrjubalo]

This album help get me through my School Days graduated in 1978!

[SanderFrontBass]

3 people got bad memories from their school days

[happyface4444]

I wish my school days were this epic.

[CAGED1702]

Awesome...! This was our "sound check song", that made our foh mixing guy happy..! Btw: 3 people have NO taste...probably Lady Gaga fans...

[terryjfisher]

I hate jazz. I love this.

[FatherTed20]

Wow...Played this to death '76 '77...Best Bassist I've heard ever...just got the vinyl out of my collection......Cranked it up to 100%.........Brilliant........­..

[Forceofhabbit]

Amazing song, the Bass is gift.

[GrooveAndFunky]

So damn nice! I LOVE IT!

[partypianoplayer]

awesome jam......

[partypianoplayer]

stanley is a true icon in progressive bass playing... :)

[mmvschaik]

So this is where Mark King got his inspiration from when he wrote Dune Tune (@ 2:22 minutes)

[jackarrowood]

In my opinion, Stanley is the best bass player that ever lived. I know people have other choices, but this is mine.

[SuperMusicology101]

thanks for post favorite bassist of all time and ive admired many whether he's playing electirc thunder or acoustic thunder this has to be one of the best jazzfunk/fusion discs timeless

[athiestcrusader]

now THIS is why im learning bass!!!

[doitboy]

Clean and it is one song that sucks you back in time to High School for Real. I Love It...

[nighthawlk006]

[Guitareben]

[ardrack1]

[MysticSonic007]

[TheVidkid67]

What a fucking class bass solo...if I could pick my nose as good, I'd breathe a lot more easier!!!

[Vermontist]

Blazing!

[fenderjones]

Stanley Cla\rke is the Jeff Beck of bass!!!!

[rogueshdw]

[a1gold174]

[mjstinkerbell1]

omg, I luv this song it brings back great memories. Stanley Clark is amazing, it's as if he has liquid fingers. Luv u Stanley!!!

[15chipshops]

Stanley must have sold his soul to the devil... Incredible stuff man!!!

[chrise472001]

I'm 54 now and got into this guy back in the 70' I used to play guitar in a band and our bass player used to try and copy his style lots of blood usually left on hi bass strings!!

The middle section is my favourite - sweet notes!

[TheGaetano62]

grandissimo lenny white

[KeithIsPissedOffabiX]

This is one of the best songs ever to play on the Bass. Stanley is a legend.

[ynotime2dream2]

Great Jam. Too bad there are so many in the dark about music. The majority of younger people are programmed by main stream radio. Can't believe they never heard this. I always try to turn younger people on to all the various forms of jazz and let them decide for themselves What they've been missing. This just takes me back to some great times..

[MacRocks713]

Epic bass solo is epic.

[TheRogomatic]

stanley playin,goddam rubber bands!!!!!!!!!!

[shine865]

i started playing the bass end up playing the drums with this song 1980 now im a dj and i still love this dam song!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrCatmandude]

Great record!

The sound of the bass is so well recorded too!

Ray Gomez's intro solo is so perfect,coming from a different angle..original..

And then the bas solo,so original too

A winner!

[TheGaetano62]

[chinita41]

awesome, thanks jay :)

[passjay]

aww good morning chi, and welcome!!! lol

[22mountainman]

So many wonderful dimensions of bass playing. Stanley really came into his own when he left Return to Forever. I have had this album since 1976.

[3811iberis]

The musicianship in this 1976 classic track is absolutely fantastic, the level of funk is ridiculous, God knows how bad I would've loved to see him and Jimi Hendrix collaborate, talk about a match made in heaven, bow down to Mr. Clarke, bow down!!

[iandv1]

What a fucking Genius he is!!!

[hilltopboots]

Stanley's from my hometown, PhilADELPHIA, PA. and when this song hit everyone was proud of him. Incidentally, his work with Return to Forever which featured Chick Corea was legendary.

THANKS FOR POSTING THE SONG!!!!

[KurtSandford]

Thank you for uploading this

[KurtSandford]

Mans got SOUL.

[greenday07ryan]

1111th view.. woo

[Heartagram31]

Stanley Clarke and Marcus Miller are both gods when it comes to the bass.

But this has to be the greatest song ever.

[ShangoDC]

Yeah, this song and the bass solo changed the entire bass world forever.

[YuxKid]

Gotta love stanley clarke Really dont you?

George sounds pretty awesome too, Possibly my favourite song for the mo :)
