Brilliant post... you know your music...

I knew when I was listening to the Nuyorican version (for many years!!!!) that there had to be an original lurking in the background somewhere... it had a real "Blaxploitation" feel to it... from the early 70's... but to be honest never looked into it because I loved the vibe so much...

...easy going summer night... a large mojito... and lie back on the sand and watch the sun go down...
