[rievans57]

What an enormous talent this man was. His music was layered. There are strains of jazz, funk, r&b and soul throughout this track. Boy do I miss Marvin.

[DanHPerkins]

four brothers

[211bill]

Hard hitting funk

[strugglebuggietv]

I have a copy of this on wax..totally by accident I bought an album at the thrift store, and this was inside...blew my mind when I found out that Marvin did most of the music on this by himself..Ive been searching for a complete album with a nice cover ever since...

[LolAyers]

my driving toon :)

[undergroundmoe]

this is marvin on drums 

[FourChun]

Lupe's Make Sure & Four Brothers got me here..But Thank you Marvin for being there. Classic Sound!

[Sal1675]

this music is simply too rude for words..let it music do the talking I say..............

[ltinsley2]

loved the way Marvin fused jazz with funk on this one. pretty signficant for 1972.

[Sal1675]

@ltinsley2

totally ahead of its time!

[ltinsley2]

[MILLENION77]

[mitchwheresmybunny]

Still have this on album. I think a DJ in Dayton(WDAO)used this as his outro music. Classic....

[designeranoraks]

If this tune was my girl, i'd never cheat on her and we'd be married forever

[starchedownon84s]

@designeranoraks me too homie

[MrLordcipher]

I remember when Cold Crush used this in a rutine. They killed it. Where has the real gone?

[nubonyx]

Yeah... I remember listening to this joint back in the day in Philly. It's a nice joint to warm up on before a set too.

[myaccountsdisabled]

CLASSICK!!

[windel12002]

Back in the day, WHUS-FM (Storrs, CT.) - The Black Experience in Sound introduced this album, and stations across the country picked up on it rapidly. Unfortunately, The Soundtrack was much better than the movie.....but thanks to brother Den-Den for giving us this classic!

[dredfurn]

i remember philly wdas,wlib ny, wprb princeton,wrti temple coming up in trenton nj jerry king

[esramaho]

[freddypknight]

The Angels used this as the background track to their entrance to their step show at UW-Madison in '74. It was tight as hell then and still is. I NEVER forgot it.

[kaiba1977]

[truedondada59]

WBLS/Mr.Magic would use this as a bridge beat back in the day

[moormagic1]

I remember the Brown Night. WDAS use play some good music at night back then. You could really chill.

[blacksnk]

First time I heard this was in a mix by Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince. No idea it was Marvin Gaye!!

Wow, I always thought this joint was by Lafayette Afro Rock Band.

Didn't know Mr. Gaye was a composer and producer.

[jeremyjenn1]

[pnojazz]

@crunk617 and before "the breakers" we did some breakin' it down of our own in '72 during the age of Black Films like Trouble Man, Badass Sweetback, Superfly, Shaft..."say it loud I'm black and I'm proud!" Those were the days!

[crunk617]

It was also used in the 2005 movie Four Brothers - where I, as a 17-year-old, first heard it and was entranced straight away.

[trooper40below]

DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince sampled this back in 1987 with the song called "Touch Of Jazz" on their debut album Rock The House.
