[ezabdullah]

Lonnie Liston Smith produced some of the finest far away yet down to Earth music in my recollection. He incapsulated the realm of smooth floating music.

[nitedrive]

@ezabdullah - Well said.

[bigben1986]

reminds me of the 1970's and 80's hot nyc summers.

[doc2skate]

Still remember the first time I heard this album. I was in the Air Force. I was sleeping when I awoke to the sounds of lovemaking from my room mate's bed. Then I noticed the music. The next day I didn't even mention the girl. I asked the bro who was on the stereo. He laughed for a full five minutes.

[FillterFour]

@doc2skate Yes! Military experience.. I loved my time in the army, a couple years ago when it came to the women. No problems there! Lol

[calilowrider4life]

[sheikhzak]

Lonnie manages to add such a feeling to his music...great posting.First got hooked on him with Expansions back in the day.

[OdinsLoaf]

Its so lame when people say in videos "whoever doesn't like this doesn't like music." ~.~ You all know who you are cuz that shit gets rated up all the time.

[Scratch2C]

@OdinsLoaf not everyone likes the same things..well said the human is very diverse for that same reason its why we were given free will

[quickjazz55]

Have Mercy! Another time & place! I am so there! Do It Lonnie!!!

Go Lonnie, Go Lonnie, Go Lonnie Gone! My Man never did me wrong when it came to settin the mood and never will! Ok I'm done now but Lonnie ain't never gonna be!

Peace!

[QueenUptown]

My dad use to play Lonnie when I was little. I don't know why this song makes me cry. :-)

[mattratt512]

@QueenUptown i think it's because when you were little, life was simple. there's certain vids i can't look at because it was simpler back then.

[Triggernappy]

WOW!!!!!

[hollyveeta]

omg... so remember him doin' this joint in a lil lounge @ the holiday inn... back in the day! , beautiful!! (i was a shorty, but i still rememba..lol

[SpankRamen2]

I want to light some awapuhi incense & eat a bowl of tropical exotic fruits. Pineapple, papaya, strawberries, kiwi, & guava. While sitting on my back deck as the breeze gently whisps the hair from my ponytail across the back of my neck, giving me a feathery tickle.

[timberland215]

that sounds like a nice time...

[j1455p]

LLS always sets the mood for whatever you want it to be.

[robertclemon]

[spicerack9]

Wonderful.

[MrBrentonk]

One of many classic's by a keyboard genius at 55 yrs old I feel blessed to come up in this type of musical atmosphere. you can only imagine how good a joint was with this type of jazz bar- b-cuing your ears.

[carandboatnut1]

Watching the Sunset after a good day surfing. Enjoying some herb and a cold beer with a few friends......

[djgula1985]

Absolutely right you are

[taildragger51]

Nobody can create an hypnotic, enchanting "chill out" mood like LLS. This music just puts you in a peaceful, happy trance.(without the need for substances)

[MKJ258A]

Strolling down memory lane.

Back in my jazz radio days I felt good playing

the music of Lonnie Liston Smith on some of my shows!

But it wasn't until years after I left radio that I got to meet

Lonnie Liston Smith in Richmond Virginia at the local YMCA.

The both of us had finished working out & we got to talk & share

stories about our favorite subject jazz music.

[LoungeTom]

L♥ve it! It's soo chilled! :D

[kikoplane]

gran trabajo lonnie your friend in acapulco.mex.

[MANILABOY6631]

This song makes me imagine of those pillow parties during the 70's, where everyone would lounge on huge throw pillows on the floor by the pool.. . Afro sheen, bell-bottom pants, the heady smell of ______ . Kaftans, . . men with long sideburns, .. and fitted stretch shirts. Drinks everywhere, ... laughter, ...

[sg72646]

@MANILABOY6631 ye those were the days!

[bitlowtothebone]

@MANILABOY6631 i feel you!! like 100%

[beantown54]

[DWClinton68]

one of the all-time best musicians.

[beantown54]

yea his musics so smooth and refreshing... i love it

[robertclemon]

Great Job!, thanks so mush

[frassut]

man i love the summer, makes me so happy

[robertclemon]

soothing and soulful

[Harmonic1961]

Mr.Smith was a genius whose energy was his passion for the enlightenment of man through his harmonic melodies and He was most avant garde as his music will attest.

[Kddog1103]

THIS is music for the Soul. It takes you to a place where there can be no negativity. It leaves me in awe of how beautiful and touching true art can be.

[lateforthesky61]

I loved Lonnie's work in the early 80's, but he's got stamina and has been cranking funk and bluesy acid jazz since the the early 70's. Never heard this song until now and damn -- his trip started waaaay back. Love the LLS groove!!!

[BigDink57]

This is my kind of music!!! Love this genius!!!!

[antonialynette]

Thank you so much. My dad played this for me when I was a kid!

[shallasherry]

truly cosmic

[magirecords2004]

I had played da mess out of this tape while in the Military,stationed on the Isle of Guam. :)

[nanasumi]

[amd77j]

Shows just how far ahead and beyond us Lonnie was. I'm entranced by this song.

[hats002]

[freddyborugacukin]

Thank You Gilach for Uploading this song,long time searching and finally the wait is over. This is one of my favorites From Lonnie Liston Smith and I'm going to enjoy myself on this day; Last time I play this song was in 1984... It made me go back, way back in time...When I Was a Youngster and Things Were So Different.

Two Thumbs Up For You Amigo!!!

[PaTudie]

So refreshing. Like being in a rain forrest or something tranquil

[mruiz1414]

This a great LP, he is way ahead of his time

Can someone post the song on this album,

The second half of Visions of a new world?

It's more uptempo.
