Reminds me of growing up in Detroit in the 60's - good stuff!

[biker47]

My parents grooved on this one back in the 60's. Thanks for bringing back the memory.

[thomascerna]

1980 i bicycled into KC on a hot 105 degree day, found a flyer for the black arts festival, 3 days of music 2.50 a day, been playing roadrunner since i pedaled out of Minneapolis n Jr Walker played saturday night, WOW, TY KC & JR WALKER i will never forget that night... the only white boy in a sea of black women lol we were all singing along....

[Ann3shoes]

Nothing today is even half as good as this type of music. You want people to dance?  Play this.

[zezt]

one of my FAVE singles of ALL time. i was dancing to this at a Stax club in the day. eat ya heart out teens haha

[doc2skate]

Jr. Walker always played live with the artists in the studio. He didn't know what "dubbing" was until he played on Foreigner's "Urgent". There wasn't a band present so he thought the gig was postponed. Great, great post.

[GS455Stage1]

This song is still a dynamite song to listen to today. Also, everyonewho enjoy the great Jr. Walker & The AllStars try listening to "Hot Cha" and " Tune Up" for some real Sax music at its greatest.

I'm very happy & blessed to have been a teenager during this wonderful time in American "Soul Music". To really get people to dance at a party function all you had to do was to play a song by Jr. Walker & The AllStars and everyone would want to dance.

Long live this music.

[motownfan5]

@GS455Stage1 Jr was the man !!! You are correct this is was get up and dance music !!

[floydwork]

Does it get any Better!  NO!!!!!!

[ptins2000]

Kids! Educate yourself in music! This my friend is Kick Azzzzz Music! Learn, listen, expand your self in the depth of soul.....God love this stuff! Peace....

[1966mybestyear]

No matter where I was, in any club, I would always jump to the dance floor for this one. I am surprised that many of my friends associate this song with me, even now. I just love that saxaphone. One of the sixties' gems for me. You can keep most of Motown, but not this classic from 1966 - when else? I defy you to stay in your seat.

[MrCoalescent]

What a weave! The piano is pounding the chords, the guitar is interjecting those double-note bends, the organ is adding those wheezy fairground squeezes, the baritone sax is honking support to the bass, which is pedalling away with the kick-drum, tambourine on the off-beat, actually louder than the snare! Add vocal and mix! This is an absolute iconic track - and 1 person hasn't got ears. When the solo sax takes off you get goosebumps all across the shoulders and down the back. Peerless stuff!

[RichTBikkies]

The peak - the Platonic Archetype - of the screaming saxophone!

[snare500m]

The road musicians was the All Stars..but it was the Funk brothers...cutting it in the Studio A.....and the drum Intro..is classic...Tamla Drum Roll...by the master Benny Benjamin kicking the Tune..into life....the best..

[postshanna]

UTSA FOOTBALL STARTS FALL 2011. YEEEEAHHHHHH!!!!!!

The theme song of my life, period. No apologies. Wolfsky9

[GAZZAGESSEX]

I never ever tire of listening to this track one of the best dance tracks of all time,they dont make em like this any more

[hymnlover1]

My all-time favourite record, I only have to hear this and my feet start tapping and I wanna dance. Nothing has ever been as good, before or since. Love that sexy sax.

RIP Junior!

[JoeRailfan]

Greatest dance group ever. Pure joy. Thanks for posting!

[mrbillhicks]

I had Juniors greatest hits album when I was kid and played it to death, Cleo's mood, Hip city, Pucker up all classic tunes. Met him briefly backsatage at a club in London years ago, it was only a fleeting moment but it was such a delight to touch the hem of one so great. Worked with Edwin Starr a few years later, another great. There truley is a great band playing up there somewhere.....

[freddo27]

How could anyone not love this song nearly as much as they love their mother.

[williamg2552]

THE ALL-STARS (L to R) : VIC THOMAS (keyboards), JR WALKER (lead vocals and sax), WILLIE WOODS (lead guitar and vocals) , and JAMES GRAVES (drums)

[wasthere1]

Wonderful song. I grew up near Detroit and we heard this all the time. A great classic. Dance to this song and Shotgun.  Nice... great job guys...!

[MrBazza86]

The best soul record in all the Disco's late 60s and early 70s. Every disco played it every night.

[stopdong22]

This track is one of the true greats, I can still remember the first time l heared it at the mojo club in sheffield, I was 16, I didnt think then that l would still be loveing it just as much at 61...

[boomshockalakalaka]

Love the life I live, and I'm gonna live the life I love, RoadRunner baby.

[aerorocker1001]

holy shit this is good stuff!

[paulthepill]

only one thing wrong with this record......its too damn short !

[postatility]

Got to keep on keepin' on!!!!!!!!!

[puttmannia]

The days when I used to go to Bullocksville park to watch the black softball teams play on a Sunday evening and dance on the dance floor.

[latinsoul53]

Could we use Junior now. RIP Bro, you may be gone, but your music carries on!

[tincHadra1gH]

a great reminder of 'true' soul music!

[kramyelir]

Soundtrack to my youth!Keep on keeping on.

[latenightpilgrim]

Saw junior walker at Bolton casino in 1972 awesome

[spongebobsquaretits]

i saw them about 26/7 years ago in my local club. He played "Wishing on a star " ( Rose Royce song ) laid on the stage on hi sback, unbeleivable night. So sad he has gone, nothing like this about now.Real talent has gone.

[PAULLONDEN]

CLASSIC....

But an alltogether different Road Runner.

[chris127ukk]

Saw Junior Walker about 15yrs back in a motown concert with Jimmy Ruffin and Edwin Starr.The night ended with this guy walking round the arena playing his sax followed by the whole audience.What a musician/performer

[mrspivvy]

what a superb track, why can't they do anything like t his today?

[anfieldroad2005]

GREAT.

[kenesto]

That was the sound!Hits the mark every time for me!Here is a great classic of Jr.Walker & the Allstars from Back-In-The-Day.Thank you!
