This tune is one of the best R & B instrumentals I've ever heard! Patrice Rushen is an outstanding musician. I remember I bought the album 'Straight From the Heart' when it first came out and I fell in love with it-- I was instantly 'hooked' and I couldn't stop listening to it!
The music was played on the US Arm Forces Radio Network in early 1980's. The radio show moved to USA with the music broadcast to southwest Texas and Oklahoma mid 1980's
When I was in the US Army stationed in West Germany. I've hosted a radio show that used this music for a theme. At the time the Germans loved it and to my surprise at the time was a Grammy nom for best instrumental. Great piece of music!
henrave, i now live in canada and have been for 6 years now, i sure do still love london, i also lived in wembley for a few years on chalk hill estate.
@nwlarry damn bro i have lived in the US for 2 plus years and clearly remember this being played on Invicta when i used to live in Wembley.....i truly miss pirate radio from that era
This is truly number 1. This was my cut. Just try to listen to this and don't move something. U CAN'T DO IT. U will have to be dead or paralyzed not to groove to this.
I wore out this cassette! Yes I said cassette; there were no cd’s or iPods back then – cd’s were barely being introduced as a new music medium format! OMG am I that old??!! lol
@Jqau Hey Kathym14,You have great taste in what you listen to, and a good understanding of what its really all about. Patrice Rushen is a very accomplished woman. Peace
Read the album cover and you'll find she plays all the instruments for this song, incredible!!!
