@RANDALLBLAKELY I agreee. I am 17 and an oddball, because i listen to this, but i keep trying to tell other kids that this is real music. Not that bullcrap out today.

Let me tell you about my day when this song first got radio play in the San Francisco Bay Area. Every neighborhood I rolled through, at least three(!), I saw girls unafraid to be dancing in the streets to this song (typically next to a parked car blasting it). Not exaggerating either. Those were the great ole days in the bay area.

Say that you will never silence yourselves, so you can continue to LOVE by utilizing your First Amendment freedom of "speech" I loved this song, since I was in junior high school.

@Rib5 Oh yeah, we had them kind of days also. You see gobackforward's comment also? They remember what it was like back then too. I miss those days.

@Mestiso925 Wow, sounds like good memories. I remember from when I was a kid in Chicago. People used to just sit out on the steps in front of their houses with a radio playing and talking with neighbors. I don't see that anymore :(

I bought this LP in 1978 when I was 18 and in college. Just listened to it after 25 years or more and it still sounds great and brings back sweet memories.

"The Duke" never has gotten his due credit for his accomplishments..

[oldtimer1965]

This song has always had that Earth Wind & Fire vibe to me especially the chorus "bop ba da bop bah...bop ba da bop bah". I'm am simply amazed at how George Duke brings that "live" element to his all of his music. His studio projects sound "live" and his "live" projects are so tight and polished they sound like studio performances. Not very many musicians can pull that off. Long live SIR DUKE!!!
