Who's leading in the song?

[allseeingi]

Downloaded this soon as I hear the first 20 secs. I am hunting down all versions of this track , so far this one and hummingbirds are the best for that organic funky sound.

[porkymor1]

I work at a fish shop here in Holland. Steven Flanagan from this group walked in, we talked for like 30 mins :D

[djmattyoung]

This song is great. There isn't a bad version:

Creative Source

Earth wind & Fire

Jaye P. Morgan

Carmen Mcrae

Hodges, James & Smith

Hummingbird

D'Angelo

[Saradunc]

Was Bill Withers with this band????

[pecknpeck]

No, but Sussex Record's the label that Creative Source recorded for was owned by Bill Withers and run by Clarence Avant. Can't Hide Love was written and produced by Clarence 'Skip" Scarborough who also wrote and produced Don't Ask My Neighbors Love Ballad, among other hits. He died in Baltimore MD. of cancer doing Christian street ministry in 2008.

[superduckling5]

this is a hummingbirds song

[4959jtl]

I forgot they did this song before Earth Wind & Fire,and i have this album,use too play it all the time.

[BrownIrisEyes]

Damn!

I used to get my head right drinking Bali-Hai Wine (cheap wine always affected me - LOL); put this 45 of the record player, and harmonize it all the way through!

Out of all the versions of this song, I've always liked this one the best!

[m00dyhouse]

Just awesome

[memejawd]

interesting take of EWF, I actually like it quite a bit but I am more in love with them. However, I must say this is great

[Saradunc]

@memejawd Hi, they did this befoifre EWF, both are great tracks but think EWF is the better:)

[memejawd]

@Saradunc oh interesting

[rokderboat]

[RAMBR0]

My Dad had this album on 8-track...used to rock it in the Olds 98...the song is timeless...well, alright, maybe it does sound a bit dated, doesn't make it bad song though does it...NICE!

[IngridBergmanRocked]

Yeaaaaah...thank you:D

[78Sista]

The first time I heard this song was at a bowling alley. Love this song. Did this group had this song first or EWF?

[emmettk]

@78Sista This was the original recording of the song written by the late Skip Scarborough. It was recorded in 1973. Earth Wind & Fire recorded a drastically changed arrangement in 1975.

[pecknpeck]

This was first; then Skip hooked up with Maurice and the other hits rolled out with EWF, Benson.etc... The CS tracks were recorded at the Record Plant on 3rd St. in L.A. (there was one in San Fran too) and doesn't exist anymore. Many of the greatest rock and soul albums of all times were recorded there. Wow the '60's and 70's mmmmmmmmm. Stills, Jonie, Sly Stevie, everybody.

[BrownIrisEyes]

@pecknpeck

Yep! It sure was!

When THIS version came out I was a young teen!

When Maurice's (EWF) came out - I was on my "GROWN" (as the NEW coming of age young adults say, today!) LOL

[LEGSUDESIRE]

Wat too many memories...Best version of this ;the ladies sound like the harmony of The Fifth Dimension,Friends Of Distinction

[christophersheldon]

I have been wanting to hear this again for years. I like this version more than EWF. Thanks.

[lueezwushere]

did zion i sample the guitar part aswell?? sounds real familiar

[Centaursdream]

To qwamiade yes they did indeed record this first but i had NO IDEA that Skip Scarbourough wrote the song!!! To DatsoulBoss I grew up in Brooklyn also. I'm so old school I remember when WWRL played music . Do you remember a record store called Birdell's?

[qwamiade]

Wow!!! I had no idea they cut the original version. Man, its a close call to compare this w/EWF. Aaaaaaah shucks eff the comparison I'll just sit my black ass back and enjoy both to the utmost.

[swt32567]

Another one of the late Skip Scrborough's great tunes. R.I.P. Brother Skip, job well done.

[GeneralTrousers]

Skip was good ... look for the theme for his daughter - Relana Scarbourough aka 'Theme for Relana' done by Gene Harris ...

[DatSoulBoss]

This was a great LP! And this was my favorite song on the LP & even today, hearing this nearly brings tears to my eyes just remembering how great it was to be 13 & growing up in Brooklyn. I still have the 45, the LP & although it includes Magic Carpet Ride & the classic Who Is He, this is my favorite & will ALWAYS be my favorite version of the song, EW&F, notithstanding. My next favorite is definitely Oh Love. Ma, I love this song!!!

[Peggystube]

@DatSoulBoss Ooooo my Im about to cry. I have been looking for this song for ages. Everything you said about: growing up in Brooklyn (Bed-Stuy for me) and using the word LP only ppl our age talk like this. The passion u have for this song is the same way I feel. Especially when the sista hits that high note...this was and still is D best album. Don't let the pic foul ya......I been sporting a FRO for 4yrs now, had to go back to my roots.This is my kind of music.Thx 4 Da memories

[feeleffect1]

@DatSoulBoss Yes I loved this LP when I was 12 in Rockford,Illinois. Creative Source was popular in the hood here. I didn't know they did it before EW&F. I like creative sources version better BUT Maurice did tear it up!

[DRUMTOY2002]

Wow thank you sooo much for the post!!! This song was and still is my favorite cut off of this album!!! And yes, I did say album!!!! Ive still own it too!!! When I was around 7 or 8, the group as whole use to be good friends with my family. I had a crush on Celeste,but loved laughing and plkaying w/ Steve. He was ALWAYS was very kind to me and ALWAYS made time to hang out with me! God Bless you!

[predador564]

[CWroyal88]

Pete Rock used the melody for "Pete's Jazz" i can tell

[incrediblecHiller]

thanks for the info!

[CWroyal88]

He used this for the chorus, Hiller.

If you listen to "Pete's Jazz", you'll hear the chorus comes in at 1.15, 2.19, 3.33 and 4.26 That's the song he used on Pete's Jazz
