  • What's not to love...what's not to groove?

  • this is my song!!!!

  • Hanging out on Elizabeth Avenue and Jefferson Place in Hempstead, blasting this ish loud while my older sister and our friends practiced their dance moves. I miss the early to mid seventies growing up in Hempstead, NY. We kept it real!

  • @FeralHoneyBadger Yay L.I. & Uncle Sam's!

  • My freshman year at Hampton U (institute in those days!) and what a year that was!

  • Dammmmmmmmmm! Back to high school (Pensacola, Escambia in FL) cutting class with the boom box.

  • If this song don't move ya, you better check your pulse!!

  • I'm 18, and it makes me sad that there's rarely any bands like this anymore. people don't know what they're missing out on man.

  • @PFDbassist That's OK; you can always listen to the oldies from the 70's.

  • This reminds me of that commercial with the cows lol

  • This song I would like to dedicate to mt daughter Ashey, I love u :)

  • turn back the hand of time for a minute. cheap gas, beer,wine, good weed and good times nothing but a G thang baby buba

  • awesome!! crank it up!!!!! i'm sure my neighbors walls shake!!

  • the best part is that flute solo! holy shit!

  • Yes, I even as an old guy used to boogy down to this tune back in the day, I was silly back then.

  • awesome dance music and flute! thanks for posting.

  • @jamga158: I know how you feel....i can't believe i am turning 50 soon. I don't even feel like it. This music reminds me of how much time has really passed and all the fun we used to have back in these days. I don't know what i thought back then but honestly i never saw or imagined myself this old....i must of thought i was gonna be young forever. Truth is.....this music brings the youth back out of me.

  • Love it! Always have and always will!!!

  • Cube sampled this for 'No Vaseline.'

  • I aint a old head ima youngsta of 23 but dammit i love Westcoast hip hop. N i happen to believe if u rele love hiphop the way i do youd know alotta westside artsists got theyre earlier sound from old 70s funk music hence the genre "G-Funk" meaning Gangsta Funk! Mind u i aint even from the west...im Jerzy born n raised but the Westcoast stole my soul ever since i saw Gin & Juice back in the day when Yo Raps wuz still on TV!! I could go on n on but im runnin outta characters in my comment box

  • this was the s--- back in the day! every city need to have a radio station that is totally dedicated to nothing but funk!

  • Sad to see most kids in my high school can barely tell me what funk is. most of them say Michael Jackson. -.-

  • Class of 1974, funking till the day I die!

  • Speaking of "Funky things to do with a flute".............This one time, at band camp.......... ( heeheeheeheehee )

  • Now this was a real band. No autotune, no synthesizer and all that other bull-crap. This group was musically talented. The first time I ever heard this group, I fell in love with the flute. The brother that played the flute in this band was awesome. Let's not forget "Dusic" and "Ain't Gon Hurt Nobody".

    This group was the epitome of funky good music. All you WANNA-BE bands need to listen-up and learn!!!

  • @onemeanscorpio That brotha did take that flute through some changes didn't he?! Who would have ever thought you could take a flute, of all instruments, and make it sound funky?

  • @faith2xxx Exactly! Made me want to purchase a flute and learn how to play. LOL!!!

  • My name is Reg, and I'm a Funkaholic. I've been a funk addict since 1974 when I was 10 and my mama left me in the car wit an 8-track of Kool & The Gang playin "Hollywood Swingin" and "Jungle Boogie". Then came the Ohio Players wit "Skin Tight", "Fire" and "Love Rollercoaster". So by 1976 when Brick dropped Dazz, I was hooked. These days I sneak out to my car at work, just to get a quick taste. Gimme some Parliament, Bar Kays, Fatback, Slave, Lakeside - It don't matter, as long as it's Funk!

  • @Reg1564 How are you're doing? Reg! I'm Sandra Dee Lawson. I love your music.

  • @Reg1564

    this is the best Youtube comment I've ever read.

  • @Reg1564 Man everything you just said was right on point! ! ! ! I wouldnt change one word of what you said! ! !

  • @Reg1564 Nice to know people like you. Well I was also a funk addict late 70's. Really miss those good old days. Today's kind of music a totally tasteless and not worth listening to.

  • 1976 - 17 years old, just graduating High School.

  • Man! I remember when i use to mix this record at a block party in NYC da Bronx at PS 63 in the early 80's and get the crowd bouning.It never failed to do what it do.

  • I'm glad they don't make a "hardcore rap/ hip-hop version" of this song and ruin it !!

  • @dsturick why would it be ruining it? And FYI I'm sure Ice Cube used some variation of this instrumental and his song was a classic (No Vaseline)

  • 1976.... Where the hell did the last 35 years go? Hearing this tune while in my 65 Mustang on AM Radio. This song brings me back to a better time, I wish I could go back!

  • @427CQBRA Amen brother...I think i blinked and 35 years later............wow
