This song is familiar to different generations. Through sampling, it is now familiar to underground house music fans from track 'In the bottle '91' by Insomnia, and this song is familiar to underground rap djs from track 'In a bottle' by Besque. This song is also familiar to 1970's R'n'b/disco fans from cover track 'In the bottle' by Brother to Brother, or to latin fans of Joe Bataan.
Hey Rubberduck36, I was in Cardozo H.S. in Queens class of '72. I used to go to The Martinque, Pippins and Nemo's on E.52St in Man. Good jam, good times.

Whatever happened to Gil Scott-Heron? He always was immensly talented
and always had something to say.
