i cant believe some rapper hasent sampled 0:10-0:22

[SoundsGoodMusicDJ]

@BIGZphillybirdfan rappers dont sample....producers do.......

[Bizarronumber4]

Great version!!!!!

[thedingalingz]

who is playing that song at the start???

[lace2nice4u]

the best version

[PANCHOMEX951]

boring version

[johngoo343]

@PANCHOMEX951 are you kidding me? seriously? boring, have you ever heard the original, better yet ever watched Happy Gilmore, when Chubbs aka Apollo Creed aka Carl Weathers plays it on piano, and almost puts the audience to sleep? This is Grant Green, who covered hundreds upon hundreds of songs, stretching his style to basically every aspect of music. He's the master of jazz groove, just being a boss and doing work, son.

[Apsu72]

BUSTA RHYMES!!

[kesasika1]

This is fucking awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[quadspeak]

The word here is SPIRITUAL, Not many musicians can reach your soul like Grant can.

[taildragger53]

quadspeak: So true. There's no other way to say it. Very few could take a syrupy pop song and turn into a jazz masterpiece.

 Grant once said "I'll play anything you want..it's ALL Blues basically" Amen.

[kesasika1]

words of truth my friend!

[Roelandvinken]

@quadspeak tru that bro,,,, it goes places,,listen to this over and over in my ipod and it goes deeep deeep deeeep down inside.

holy spirit all over it

[AlohaBay]

Grant was so good. He plays the melody with so much emotion, even more so then many singers.

[namaste91]

So smooth and sensitive.Makes live better!;)

[aysept]

grant green is the real og!

[BMWSANDO]

I think the VIBES make this song here. Without The guy playing the Vibraphone What would this be? Does anyone know who is playing the VIBES ? Who is the VIBE MAN ?

[BMWSANDO]

Who is playing the VIBES?

[roscoegino]

@BMWSANDO billy wooten

[namaste91]

which album is this?

[sexymama1966]

this song was made for crusing in your car

[C0NTR4B455]

Beyond technique really..He has his way of playing..Clipping notes here, sustaning them here..But really , for me, Grants appeal is his emotionality..Supreme feeling..Uplifting and sad at the same time.

[doodlinfred]

@C0NTR4B455 hey i really like the way you  descibed your comlpiment good words

[tabidots]

This is some of the most beautiful guitar playing I have ever, ever heard... Grant Green had the Zen of guitar on lockdown.

[bassfeile]

... and the vibes sounding like in a dream.

Great tune !

Thank's

[somnambulance]

Have always loved this, and the Mozart riff on the same album. Just some really great playing.

[HenryManchini]

This is played godlike!

[taildragger51]

My God, i miss this guy's playing so much. Grant was a guy who was equally at home playing a pop ballad,a one chord funky vamp in E9 or a heavily complicated bebop tune like " Esoteric". Unique guitarist who wasn't afraid to play a simple melody.

[nonpareil2003]

Where did this version come from? Its different from whats on the Visions album.

[roscoegino]

i left the original back home 2000 miles away so i put the version from the dusty fingers compilation. i don't remember -- how are they different?

[nonpareil2003]

There isn't the jarring, though nice intro; he just goes straight to the melody. More importantly, the song is over a minute longer. Grant Green spends most of this time beautifully riffing the melody. If I get a chance I'll post a response.

[CrescentNoon]

Wow... frickin' cool - I need to be looking for more stuff like this... had no idea about it!!! Thanks for sharing.

[jazzahnova]

Grant spent much of 1978 in hospital and, against the advice of doctors, went back on the road to earn some money. While in New York to play an engagement at George Benson's Breezin' Lounge, Grant collapsed in his car of a heart attack in New York City on January 31, 1979. He was buried in Greenwood Cemetery in his hometown of St. Louis, Missouri, and was survived by six children

[AminTheMighty]

I still have this on record...that's a lovely song to use for a very cool and mellow track...I wouldn't mess with one bit, just have someone to flow to it.

[califgirl101]

[IncaRoad01]
