  • GOD I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!

    I couldn't remember who wrote this song until now. THANKS FOR POSTING THIS! :-)

  • You're welcome :O)

  • Thank you so much for this particular post! Brings back memories of Sweet Home Chicago and the dusty stepper sets at the 50 Yard Line on 71st and Artis' on 87th/Kimbark with the Hall of Fame DJ Herb Kent. We long so much to see the Gangster of Love again in the resurrection! One more of the long list of "true-funk soldiers" fallen in the line of duty that Prince spoke about in Musicology a few years back. Carry on, Kemosabe! LOLOL!

  • Glad you have enjoyed it :O)

  • This brings a few memories back

  • For me too :O) Debz

  • I first got my nose opened to JGW in 1976 at 10 yrs old and every since then have loved his music and became even more enamored with his flamboyant/player style in all of its pseudo pimpishness, when I learned he hailed from Houston as I do. As saddened as I was when he passed he left a large body of work to be appreciated

  • There will never be another one like JGW, my oldest brother turned me on to him when i was young and i liked his music ever since, my heart just broked when i first heard of his passing in '96, this musical genious will be truly missed.

  • Reminds me of back home in Chicago's South Side and Herb Kent and those stepper sets. Great times!

  • he broke it all the way down on this lol

  • A VERY NICE SONG.

  • Truly superb. It was out of left field in '75 but what a sonic groove! Just genius!
