A classic in it's own right. I grew up on Herb. His Tijuana Brass tracks were the first music I ever heard.. been a music lover ever since. One of the things that helped this awesome jam up the charts was Luke's rape of Laura on General Hospital. This was playing during that scene. Drove it right to Number One.
I remember hearing that number either on the radio or in a disco back in the day...I still feel the same at listening...I had a crush on a girl I was seemingly none of her plans...who knows after all ...lol
I knew a rendition(without knowing the title) of it by a french clarinet player that was far from matching this one...checking out for the french version led me to this one ...Yessssss....
There's no other words to be said.. Genius , Pure Genius.. I met Herb in 1979 @ Peaches Records and Tapes on Peachtree in Atlanta, while on the Rise Promo Tour. I was 15 years old.. I was shaking as I approached him , and while he shook my hand, I was close to passing out.. THIS WAS and IS MY HERO ! Go Herb.. I love you now, even more and Im pressing towards 48 years old. You were in your 40s when you recorded this and YOU ROCK !
Memories of Okinawa Japan in 1979. I was a Marine stationed there and every morning waiting in the Chowhall line Armed Forces Radio would play this tune at 0800 hours. Man! 32 years have gone bye so fast. Such is life but certain songs will take you to a certain time and place in your life.
Esta pieza la recuerdo cuando en la TV mexicana en la noche pasaban escenas de los juegos olimpicos de invierno, muy buena rola, pero alguien sabe que fue de su esposa, Lani Hall?
@TwistedSith No disrespect, but how in GOD's name can you make PERFECTION better? Like, this was recorded in 1979-- WAY ahead of it's time, yet that was a SUPERIOR year for music, anyway! I know this, 'cause this was one of my ultimate jams! I certainly hope that whatever you lay on top of this track is CLEAN, 'cause he NEVER needed help, hoes, b*, guns, or gangs, to enhance his work!!! Now that's what's commonly known as REAL TALENT! Cheers, mate! - J
@JwahAmore31 There are many different styles of Hip-hop, those of which do not focus on how many bitches they have. If you think creating beats is easy, I welcome you to do it.
