When I walked into über-hip bar Momo's in London's West End on 7th April 2010 , this is what the DJ was playing - 37 years after its release...cool or what? The track is central to Andrew Holleran's novel Dancer From The Dance and it was written by Curtis Mayfield. Classic!
@4bawbees Dancer From The Dance is the reason I looked this song up. I've loved the book for years and finally decided while currently rereading it to finally hear the song. I love this and it fits so well with my picture of the dancing at the Twelfth Floor.
@xxBriarthornxx Dancer sent you here too? what an unearthly novel that was! i first read it when i was 16, it completely shaped me as a gay man, too bad there isnt a scene like the 12th floor today, everyone's getting married, having kids and joining the army now! i wonder what Sutherland would say about the state of gay culture today
Why have I never heard this track until today. Incredible vocal!

This is one of those songs that no matter who you are, when it's blaring, you'll feel like the coolest person on the planet.

@xxBriarthornxx I looked up this song for the exact same reason! It's only the most beautiful fiction I've ever read.

Sounds like this is a rip-off from the 1971 Isaac Hayes tune and movie theme "Shaft".
