  • 4 people were not shocked by the future

    

  • I freakin love this....To bad my generation oes appreciate songs like this

  • damn you herbie I cannot find the instrumental of this.

  • Viva Curtis Mayfield !

  • Fuok vinyl, I just got this on cassette!

  • @Exxtragold hell yeah

  • Must have a recording on cassette from the concert in Vredenburg, Utrecht (Netherlands) with this song. It was a male singer.

  • I love this cool song oooo I use here way back 80s I keep thinking futer was going be. and here we are 2011 in bad year lot pepole try ing find jobs and no flying cars and celler phone can do all most any thing. what happen robot vacom? mm no they did,t last long. from Allen Hamm

  • Isn't this Curtis Mayfield from 1973, Back to the World album? Way better version. No disrespect to Herbie.

  • THE BEST- DON'T BOTHER YOU OTHERS !!

  • The vocals are horrible, should have just been instrumental

  • mark ronson go get a life.

  • the vocals are a little office party karaoke. i wonder if curtis was asked to do it

  • i see it. i feel it, i hear it, i read it, its indeed the future shock!

  • OMG! This is funkylicious!

  • this is just downright awful, but don`t take my word for it:

    simply check out curtis mayfield`s original version and you will realise how anaemic and soulless herbie`s take on that great soul anthem really is!

  • @shotdonkey you can't even spell...stop posting until your grammar skills improve...regardless of your opinion, herbie hancock is a true genius...i doubt if you'll do this, but check out emperyan fields 1964...canteloupe island featuring freddie hubbard, ron carter and tony wiliams...you probably don't know even who these individuals are :-(

  • tread lightly, my dear btlayt:

    contrary to my spelling of anaemic (which is, in fact, quite correct), you got TWO things wrong in YOUR posting: first, it`s empyrean, not emperyan. worse still, it`s "isles", not fields! ouch!

    herbie hancock is a great musician who has played some wonderful music. "future shock" however is most definitely NOT a highlight!

    as for any future ad hominem (latin, btw!) attacks on youtube, maybe you should a) practice what you preach! b) know who you`re dealing with!

  • @shotdonkey why can't people accept that great musicians sometimes make ill-chosen songs? Herbie Hancock is awesome in general and even awesome on this album. But this cover sucks. Live with it, folks. A part of being a fan is accepting an artists highs and lows for what they are.

  • i just got a copy of this on vinyl!!!

  • @busysignal2006 my condolences... ;-)

  • @busysignal2006 I just ordered it, I can't wait until it gets here. :-)

  • i love herbie hancock!

  • this is a cover from Curtis Mayfield, right?

  • thats right

  • yeaah !

    feel the groove !

  • Hell Yeah!

  • yeah! yeah! yeahyeahyeah!
