  • sorry mutha f-cker,,, quality tune mate....

  • No, danoi99, the 70's weren't shit; they were THE shit. Simply the best time to come up in.

  • OG KUSH!!!

  • @MsDarkdiamonds I was just trying to make a point about current music being shit. I happen to think that Coldplay are shite, along with RazorLight and the Kaiser chiefs and any similar sounding crap. Coldplay just sprang to mind so that's what got typed ! Was only having a rant, no need for you be confused. It's just MY point of view !! ok ?...........

  • Chris Martin, that's the cunt !!! FUCK OFF Coldplay !!! you bunch of wankers !!!!!!!!

  • @danoi99 what the fuck has this got to do with Coldplay? i hate them myself but...

  • What a fucking tune man !! I was born in the 70's and I just find this stuff so amazing !! How the hell can people say the 70's were shit ??? I swear I heard this from the inside my mums womb and the groove has been welded into my brain !!!! There aint nothing that can move you like this stuff !!! Brass Cons', Ohio Players, Maceo Parker, James Brown, P funk, Fatback, Average White Band OMG the list is endless, Music is shite now. I wish that cunt out of Coldplay would FUCK OFF !!!!!!

  • This song is the very definition of funk groove.

  • THA SHNIZZIT!!! 70'S RULE

  • 1970s best music of all times will never play out.

  • you children betta learn to play some instruments...you can't sample forever bwaa....

  • I can kiss you buddy. You are the best

  • Respect!

  • Good stuff up in here! Moving got myself together YAY! Gonna get higheRRR----and moving on!

  • Jammin' !

  • This was the song that was playing on the episode of "Good Times" when they read the telegram telling them that James the Father died in an accident. Never forget that episode.

  • this song is uber-funky,but for as great as this song is,i cant help but to chuckle a little bit because this song was playing when florida evans found out that james evans was killed in a car wreck on good times.

  • GOT MYSELF TOGETHER YEAH!!! I WAS GETTING HIGH BUT I'M MOVING ON!!!! THANK YOU JESUS!!!!!!

  • @astephens0409 Keep moving on with Jesus. This music is our history, our legacy, our passion to be proud of. What go around the music is not always good, but everyday a new opportunity to move on. Be blessed!!

  • Jammin!!!!!!!

  • @Eurostc You Bet!!! When funk was at the gills, There's no other comparison.The only language for sweating on the dance floor.  Funkdified!!!!!!!

  • This was the first song I remember line dancing to......funk ON

  • this is called FUNK!! young people ,funk music

  • This was the jam way back when I was in West Philly high school !

  • This was the song playing in the background when Florida found out James died on GOOD TIMES!

  • got myself together ......gonna get high iiiyaaaaaa and moving onnnnnn

  • our rich heritage in (authentic) music can resurge....but only if kids LEARN to play an instrument ! You can't sample forever and expect everyone to relate just because it has a hint of 70s music in it...especially when it's ruined with a bunch of mindless, often-filthy, unintelligible rap. Sorry to harsh your buzz yo, but that's what many people are thinking when they pull up to a gas station, car wash or a light & hear what emanates from some fool's car window...

    peace,

    Uncle Tinsley

  • @btinsley1 Right on the money Tinsley. And while their at it why don't these clowns come up with a stage show. A bunch of 20 somethings pacing menacingly across the stage with their pants down to their ankles is not the least bit entertaining.

  • @MrShakbo: you get the 1st thumbs up on that truth...your use of the word "menacingly" hit the nail on the head...and pants hangin' off stank butts makes me reach for the Airwick Solid, okay?

    Peace, Uncle Tinsley

  • this was when we had fist fights.....then made friends later...damnnn when i die im goin back in time some how.BYE yall

  • Brings back extremely fond nostalgic memories of doing the "Bus Stop" (the Godfather to the “Electric Slide” and all line dances thereafter for that matter, etc.) non-stop all-night long until the break of dawn in the Boogie Down Bronx NYC!

  • This was the heat back when I was a kid! Every skating rink block party and spade tournament this song was played! Now im 42 bored at work and reminiscing to songs like this. Thanks for posting

  • sorry to say and i might be gettin old but the new stuff just lacks SOUL.......

  • @egentile30 ..you got that right bro todays music sounds like garbage,no originality to it and a lack of SOUL!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • There's no feeling like what REAL music feeds the soul......MAN, I miss the good old days!!!!!!

  • Imagine playing this loud on a train (along with "Express" by B.T. Express). Yep, the conductor and passengers were movin' on to the groove.

  • just keeps grooving into an ever-tighter upward-spiral ...

  • Movin' on with SKATES!

  • everyone is in the front room dancing like we did when I was a kid. my youngest said.....all the songs are so long. I told her this was our cardio workout and social time all in one.

  • g-d damn this shit is suuuuurrrr nuff funky

  • Flying around the skating rink with my boyz mid 70's, telling the slower skatings give up the wall......or get "OFF" the wall and let the talented one's pass. Every Tuesday night. Had a child being born on a skating night (I was only 19) and told the mother (18) can you speed things up a little so I could make it to the skating rink. I've asked her to forgive so many times over for that, I really felt bad 4 it. She's told our son (35)......and our granddaughter(15). Grandpa & his skates.

  • soul train line just started at my house!!

  • this was a classy sound, pure brass

    Released in the 80's, brilliant too ;-)

  • ST8 FUNK

  • Thank God for Soul Train on Saturday Mornings when I was a kid...even though most of disco was 5 years before my time its kept these songs floating around in the back of my head.

  • Give me that good ole funky music!!!!! non-stop partying, drinking, telling lies, dancing, and high on the cloud. I love that good old funky music. Those were the days of the great bands with all that brass, and those tall, fine brothers rocking and playing those fantastic beats. Get on down. Groups like BT Express, Earth, Wind, and Fire, Brass Construction, Slave, Ohio Players, and Brick kept you in the groove.  Timeless!!!!

  • The 4 people who dislike this song are just sitting still

  • clubbing in english midlands in 1975! can you imagine how this sounded?

  • Great group!

  • Class of '75 that's my class. Selling magazines for Mr. Edwards in Fredrickburg Va., then jammed in NYC for the remaining of the summer, jammin off of Bad Luck, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes feat. Teddy Pendergrass, traveling from the Bronx to Brooklyn. Jammin hard

  • This the stuff we use to roller skate to in the 70's. Time for a new IPod playlist.

  • Good

  • A freshman in high school when this came out and loved when they played it at the skating rink! The floor would be packed, not a sole left standing even the people not skating were on the floor. Damn what fun. Even better when the high school band members learned to play it! House parties where you danced till you dropped to this tune. Great era, even better music. Rip Eugene Bryant , HHS!

    AND THIS IS THE 1ST RECORD I PUT ON

    U DO THE MATH

  • This is my first time consciously listening to Brass Construction and I'm an instant fan.

  • THIS WAS THE SONG THAT WAS PLAYING IN THA BACKGROUND ON THE EPISODE OF GOOD TIMES WHEN THEY LEARNED OF JAMES' PASSING...

  • What I like so much about this song and have always loved is Randy's (the keyboardist) soloing. If you listen carefuly, he's rockin the hell out of the synths and boards. Wow!

  • How is it I've lived 38 years so far and never discovered this GEM before? Better late than never!

  • @MrRogerPaw Brass Construction has more GEMS or Jams look them up.

  • A real long funky song. Almost 8 and 1/2 minutes. To keep you Movin'.

  • I first heard about this song when it was listed as a sample used in DJ Quik's song "Niggaz Still Trippin." I also discovered that very first note of this song was sampled by many rappers, and was actually a staple of early hip hop. This is a great song. Almost makes me wish I grew up in the '70s.

  • Amazing Funk at it's finest.

  • I can't believe some people actually don't like this,

    funk at it's best! !
