Back in the 80s, I used to work at the "San Tropicana Resort" in Mexico. It was a really sleazy place. Lots of fugitives, prostitutes and swinging couples. One night by the poolside there was a massive party. About 200 people were in the pool having sex while this song was playing in the background. Some fat sleazy guy was getting a blow job at the hotel pool bar while some hooker was fucking another bloke on the side. An Amazing scene of lust and smooth jazz sleaze.This song brings it all back.

@UBZUKI I had a listen after reading your comment. Loved it and would be open to any other songs you'd recommend.

[UBZUKI]

@ganyuehan I recently found a sealed copy of that lP on line. Paid £30 for it and that was money well spent...Check out a song called whatever it is by a group called HEAT..

[ganyuehan]

@UBZUKI I love that song, too. Thanks.  :)

[UBZUKI]

@ganyuehan Now that's a great choice...Especially the song take some time.

[whyyoulidl]

oh my, this track is pure sexual chocolate - brimmed full of SOULGLOW!

[Aardcore]

Damn it's hard to appreciate this song seriously after reading phileustace's comment :(( I'll try and make do by just scavenging as much funk as I can... ... but that imagery is way too powerful daaaamn.

[ardentepatience]

wow...

NEFFA.

This song sounds like a 70s porno. I imagine a drug lord from Colombia walking through his mansion estate on the island of "San Tropicana". He passes rare albino tigers on the green lawns while making his way to the swimming pool where he is treated to a massage by pretty waitresses under palm trees, followed by making a choice out of 50 beautiful ladies in bikinis to take back to his Drug Lord's Manor to do the deed... yo thats what smooth jazz is all about rite ?!!?!?! Am I rite ?!!?!?!

[Eazedroppin]
