[BRazor92]

In spirit of perpetuating a cliche of youtube commenting, I am happy to announce that 0 people didn't believe in Mister Magic!

[twistedschism716]

[esconyfinest]

Search up "Nas- Understanding" that song samples this. :)

[ALLANTATE]

SMOOTHEST TRACK OF ALL TIME.....SAY NO MO!

[DonBoldini]

All good, except for the inexplicable photo of Roy Ayers at 5:50. What brilliant sax playing, he sang!

[tmerm]

amy winehouse did a beautiful cover <3

[britinlincoln1]

This track, Let It Flow and Soulful Strut get a WILD reception whenever I play them at gigs! Live on Grover in some of the greatest jazz funk ever written!

[Minatour1]

Grover was a pure genius! Harmonically, lyrically, performance and interpretive he could do it all. I miss him to this day!

[ChrisDecent]

Lets get this funky thing rolling

[SpinalAlloy]

I also like how Jazz most of the time is pretty much just one big sax solo

[SpinalAlloy]

Gotta love that wah pedal!

[elogan72]

I sure hate Grover left us so soon.  RIP...Mister Magic indeed.

[SpinalAlloy]

I have to say, I am a huge fan of thrash metal, but this is amazing!

[candypeach0103]

Never knew the title of this song. It is a staple of any and every celebration in my hometown New Orleans,LA. We perform the"bus stop" or as everyone else outside of the N.O. call it....the electri slide to this. Thanks to the DJ at the Who Dat

Bar for finally revealing the title to me!!

[atimtambaby]

King of Sax!!!

[ycfightingirish1]

@69pontiacfirebird lets not get ahead of ourselves.

[ZazzOffGuitars]

When this kind of music started to fade away, so did America. This has soul, and funk and is far superior to anything that the modern music world will ever know. Nice,, thanks Grover, great musician my brother !

[froobinster]

@ZazzOffGuitars shame he died :(

[fliiboytheo121]

@ZazzOffGuitars Psst..it didn't fade away... I still listen to it and I'm 16

[MrJazzblue]

Cool, we have to do this track for a guitar assessment at my college.

[tawheedization]

best instrumental of our era that's because we awere smart enough to remember the notes without actually knowing the notes cause this m usic was embedded in our hearts and soul awow unfortuanately the music today will never give these kids the music appreciation of listening yes we knew howa to LISTEN!!!! that's the DIFFERENCE poor things sometimes just shut up and listen u may learn how to pay a note or two and maybe become a real musician go buy a set of drums or a guitar and get down with it

[MrJazzblue]

@tawheedization True that...

[JazzieTxDiva69]

Nice....very grown...magical...and sexy!



[flippinmikegriffin]

x clan -adam

[mrzdford]

That's baby-making music!

[zarenj21]

I'm 17, and what I would remember this from would be.... "If magic can admit he got aids, fuck it i got herpes! (eww whatttt)" y'all feel me? haha

[81kikijones]

Hey, man. Thank you for the video. You have no idea how much I appreciate Grover Washington Jr.'s music. Thank you very very much for posting this video.

[kore7]

The perfect song!

[billystrayhornsghost]

Classic!!!

[Raebae1120]

Bus Stop Music !

[Hamzedortiz]

PURE Art, Pure magic... that´s the real music

[onasugol]

@Hamzedortiz You have spoken the truth. By the way, what in the heck is going on with music now a days? It just stinks. This is, as you put it, "pure magic." It makes my heart relive past experinces of my youth, a sense of freedom, the unbolting of doors to infinity.

[kevinhagan17]

i always thought it was called the bus stop

[cammicty]

great song to start my morning with, and I am officially up! I remember when this first came out. Listening to Wolfman Jack on the radio, as a young teen in the back of my dads Chevrolet Caprice Chrysler.

[shjtyu]

@cammicty You mean, Chevy Caprice Classic, don't you? LOL!

[L78lancer]

Back in the 80s or 90s a woman sang Mr. Magic - long before Amy Winehouse. Does anyone know who that was?

[saron380]

@L78lancer Roberta Flack Did it in the 70s

[L78lancer]

@saron380 - Yeah I knew about her version. It was done about a year after Grover and Ralph McDonald put it down. I was looking for the Carmen McCrae version - found it. Check it out.
