David Todd, I bow to your memory. You WORKED this song, I can STILL see that Catacombs dance floor, PACKED with the children, in a frenzy, at NINE AM, God, we certainly knew how to party back then. But with music like this, it was easy.
@gobigdaddyo Thank you for your comment. You did some of the best bass playing I have ever heard on this. I am honored to have your comment on my channel.
@FunkyDisco79 Damn! I couldn't sleep the other night with this tune in my head but I couldn't place it. I got up and Googled some random lyrics and found this album. I had the 8-track back in the day and jammed hard to it! Thanks for the good memory!

Dude, seriously. I love my ladies but nothing like 70's era Hancock. His bands were ALWAYS the tightest. You can't fucking SEQUENCE shit this tight in the pocket.
The VSM201 is the holly graal... only 50 units were produced in '78... I wonder how many of them are still working and used in studios... It's like trying to get a Moog or a Bode vocoder : nearly IMPOSSIBLE.
I have the crap verion on a best of compilation, but I've looked around the legit download sites for this much better version but sadly I haven't been able find it.
@SlickFunker Getting it legit will be pretty tough. A box set release of all of Herbie's Columbia albums will be released in October. Maybe they will fix the CD version of Feets Don't Fail Me Now and put this proper version on it...
YEAH!!! This electric piano is just an exactly perfect groove! There seem to be al lot of different versions of this song. I'll post one too. Check out my channel...

gamalon 3 years ago
Right! THIS version is way better than the 12" Disco remixed version without the keyboard solo! how can we download this one? i'd love to have it!!!
gamalon 3 years ago 3
Yeah, you can totally hear the vocal layers in this one....and the groove is slightly heavier.
michaeltgrace 2 years ago 2
@gamalon
You're correct.
This version is much better than the one I have, which has some terrible, dated, percussuion sounds on it.
I'd love to know where I could buy this version.
