[Realness97]

wassaaaaaaaaap... nice one mate, I'd love to know how you beat the '10 minute video length' limit .. and possibly ask if you're a DJ ? and if so would you have (and post!) the 15+ mins version of Chameleon by Herbie Hancock and The Headhunters.? Of course I am eternally grateful if u can and do - peace be with you brother... this track is too long ago to relight my fires, but I remeber having it in my vinyl collection along with many others of the time

[dayne86]

whoa whoa whoa what is this and why am i just hearing it now?

[bassplayer418]

I use to play in my car with girl at the in Atlanta really miss that girl and Atlanta

[z00ts00t77]

Was there a mid 90's hip hop song that sampled this? Not the one by Common, I'm thinking of a song all about 'hitting bitches', got a line in about 'taking your ass out like the trash on Thursday' I think?

[z00ts00t77]

@z00ts00t77 Forget what I just wrote, the track I was thinking of was 'It's All Good' by DMX, which samples 'Heartbeat' by Taana Gardner, not this song.

[champonnois]

I wish it would never stop... Wanna die listening to it.

[toy4230]

damn, who didn't use this beat? Makes sense that Common used it from the Chi-- love this!!!!!!!!

I repeat what I said a year ago here (one of the first few comments).

this is over 30yrs old, but it will always sound fresh.  It's perfect.

Brings back so many memories of the London Soul Scene back in the day.

My eyes still well-up when I hear this.

Wonderful. Wonderful. Wonderful.

[rochstan123]

@bootsamou I know what you mean bout your eyes welling up. I play this all the time and reminisce bout the East London raves, Night Moves, Oasis, Shenola and the main DJ Mistri. Midd dem days.

[WasstschoBasstscho]

[LADYLUVSGOODMUSIC]

@scutte2000 I miss WGPR in Detroit, I used to love that station. I found a new station in the Atlanta area that plays the same kinda music, it's my favorite station. It doesn't play all that same commercial music all day.

[purda621]

[SuperXavier30]

TIMELESS!!!

[tonywallacess45]

A Boston D.J., Butterball Jr, would play a Richard Pryor Leon Spinks routine over this, it was classic.

[jnorth]

This brings back SO much memories. My mum always used to play this song when i was young. Brings me back to when we had nothing, we were on the dole and mum used to blast out the stereo.

[HawesBruce]

@jnorth The Latest Music Business Buzz From Bruce Hawes: Mr. Gus Redmond of Chicago, the Co~writer of 'Mellow, Mellow ... Right On,' is working with me on the Re~mix and the Re~make of this song with Artist from Around The World' . Gus and I have named this CD... 'Bruce Hawes And Music From Around The World!' For more info write me world @ The Bruce Hawes Creative Arts site For Music, Artist, Writer, Advisory... Thank you! Bruce Hawes from 'The Sound Of Philadelphia' family...

[madmanmatalawag]

Bruce Hawes is an amazing musician. Check out MFSB songs like : "poinciana" and" Love has no time or place" and many others that are so beautiful !!

[mharriot]

Quite simply the best song ever made. If it were just an instrumental it would be mindblowing but then there's Lowrell Simon's voice which is simply velvet!

[HawesBruce]

I am so glad to see so many comments here on this. I really do appreciate you all. Bruce Hawes, Producer, Arranger, Keyboardist.

[Sal1675]

I dont think any of you knew that you were creating an all time classic - I wish I was in the studio the day you cut this. Mr Hawes you created a MASTERPIECE- I am humbled just writing to you. Respect to you.

[HawesBruce]

@Sal1675 One thing that I did know then and I now continue this practice this, I was going to feel it, believe it and enjoy doing it. I also did and still do, the best job that I can and will continue doing so when ever called upon... Thank you for your comment. Bruce Hawes

[Sal1675]

Mr Hawes,

I used to be a DJ in the good ole days. Your 12" version was just perfect for this tune - right length - right breaks. I could play it several times in one go and used to get mesmerised and I never got bored and still dont - thank you

[stonebridgeboy11]

@Sal1675 - now this is it...dont let it get away my friend...it blows

[Jabberwock156]

[sw1zzie]
