  • Check out Cajmere & Gene Farris "Edge Of The Looking Glass". They Sampled parts from the beginning of this song and made a beautiful chicago house track of it! I just love it.

  • I remember hearin' this in my early bassplaying days, always tried to play this and eventually learned it. A stunningly pefect tune, awesome vocals and the instrumentation, percussion is timeless.

  • @desertdetroiter It is a good track. I'm not sure what black music is. A lot of black people made this style of funk/r&b/disco in the 70's and 80's, but a very large number of non-blacks wrote/performed this music during the same period. Funk and jazz are a way of life, of thinking. It's about participating in a culture of one's own creation. What happened to soulful music was music corporations started selling image over skill/talent and people stopped demanding it. But they'll never kill it.

  • @Honitempri You are so right it was late 1979. And I was 16 and a junior in high school. This song was one of a kind. From a one of a kind artist. They don't make music like this anymore. The creativity is not there. A lot of this has to do with this and prior generations of Black people went to church more. Music is truly a gift of God...

  • sigh.

  • OMG!  This had faded from the memory banks. Thank you SOO much for bringing it back...

  • @Juanabobana For what? As you can see they've already been kicked in the head. Oops wait a minute we have another clueless entry...make that 3 dislikes. LOL.

  • @RichPics1WRS Garage, Loft, Gallery, Buttermilk Bottom...you said it. Guaranteed to hear it in the early morning around 10am or so...

  • MAJOR GARAGE TUNE!! rockin' the wallzzz.. wit'dat LONG sound.....
