  • This is so smooth!!! love it! I hear Fantastic Vampire in there too...nice!

  • lovely melodic and sensual charisma

  • This is such an amazing song.

  • 3:45

  • 3.45 Sa Ra - Fantastic Vampere. Beautiful

  • @catarino75: Word up, great use of that bridge bit to create a killer track; Love Sa-Ra!!!

  • @roiafricain They're the "Final Awesome". ;)

  • Does anyone know who was singing on this one?

  • Oh wow, I have not heard this since ......I mean real music. But wait, have you checked out his sound studio above, okay he is a Doctor of music of his craft, he earned it should of had gold yrs ago. Do you know there are so many others like Herbie and better, that he listened to and worked with that never got recongition? My people, so talented and yet so much wasted true, talent.

  • eeyore sick ! and tired as an old buddhst man i n thee hospita;!

  • Yo Herbie Hancock is the man!

  • Beauty! (thx jeebus)

  • This song is...can't find a superlative that would do this song justice.  It's just that...dang it, I don't know what to say!

  • Amazing, untouchable - not many in the same league.

  • The instrumental section, entering in from 2:20, is just SO damn SEXY! I mean, the chords and progressions run together in such an ethereal way that it's really amazing that human beings can produce music that seems so unreal! Kinda the way Herbie's solo in the middle of "Butterfly" just laced it *smh* I can only hope to play just as well someday...I am inspired right now! ;)

  • a little bit of vocals and then just a long jam that you just get lost man just amazing

  • 3:45-4:05...Sa Ra's "Fantastic Vampire"...MY SHIT :D!!!!

  • 2:00 - 2:03

    3:15 - 3:20

    Casual sample

  • i was just checking out the jazz liberatorz and i was glad to see that after moaning about the poor youngins that are stuck with that top 40 crap has some that open their minds to whats good

  • Sa-Ra AND Jesse Boykins eh? Cool.

  • Herbie is THE GREATEST..this dude is beyond genious!!! I love the way Kanye and other artists r reaching out to him since he won the 08 Grammy, but if I was famous I would have been reached out to him.

  • Vocoder : Good

    Autotune : Fuck That !

    - Aaron

  • @aaronmts Thank you!! I have been trying to tell these fools that shit..they don't get it. Props, gee.

  • it anit about them being the same Herbie is A genius Kanye wants to bring the flava of herbie and other greats to create his own brand and bring back the music that is unappreciated by many

  • what's wrong with you?

  • DreKing let me guess, you must have all lil waynes and young jeeze albums...Man this trak is dope and a classic

  • Herbie is the truth!!!!

  • Love this song!!

  • whats he doin now. wow most kids wouldnt know he just won a grammy because they to busy listening at no talent dumm music(well not music) like do the holle berry song

  • wow. sa-ra creative partners sampled the hell out of this one for 'fantastic vampere.' i knew they were good, but not THAT good..herbie is truly the master. one of the greatest musicians of the 20th century...or ever

  • music.........

  • great album and this is the one of most beautiful songs ever!

  • the master.

  • Love listening to him sing through the vocorder and I so love this song:)

  • Vocoder, NOT vocorder, BUT vocoder!!!!

    Voice + encoder = Vocoder

    NOT Voice + recorder = Vocorder / They DON'T RECORD!!! They encode the voice (or other sounds) onto the synth (or whatever's being used as the carrier)!!!

  • My bad. Vocoder:)

  • Totally agree, the vocoder makes his voice sound truelly anazing!. Really wanting to try using one myself atm!! :D

  • what's he doing theese days ?

  • He's still performing, his latest album won a Grammy, I'd say he's doing quite well! :)

  • He's a true legend in the sense that he simply hasn't STOPPED since the 1960's!!! Started with acoustic jazz, played with Miles, created the genre "jazz funk" in the 1970's, pioneered vocoder in jazz, then moved back into acoustic jazz with various projects including the one that one him his latest Grammy. Always touring and playing, right at this moment.

    KANYE EAT YOUR HEART OUT.

  • hahaha

    Herbie to Kanye?

    that's not quite a fair comparison.

  • Kanye can ONLY be like Herbie...in his DREAMS!!!

  • got that right !

  • Dude, you forgot his Hip Hop/Eletronica incursion (Rock it)! That man is a fuckin genious!

  • @samsamba08 what does kanye hav to do with it? weird lol

  • Yeah, lot of love for Herbie. Also check out You Better Bet Your Love.

  • I can't get enough of this song. Lordy!

  • My fav on this album.

  • what memories. got this on 8 track still sitting in my closet(i'm 51). if you can find

    "i thought it was you" you'll enjoy that groove as well.

    Hopefully this is PERMANENT!!!

  • Takes me back...one of my favorites by Herbie Hancock.

  • not a talkbox he's playing but a vocoder so it shouldn't be in the talkbox tag.

  • You're right but I think people who like vocoders might also like the talkbox ;)

    But yea Imma put vocoder as a tag as well though.

  • Wish this song was sold on iTunes
