Long after EW&F is gone, when they place this song 100,000 years or more in the future, it will still be killing it. People will be rocking to this regardless of how old this song gets. It is timeless.

yeah, many musics from that Era (60's-70's to early 2000's) are untemporal, peoples would probably remind them even in one centuries while many todays songs are forgotten only few years after their released.

This song is very strong. In my opinion it has to do with our development as human beings. It inspires some to discover their true potentials. People nowadays don’t believe in themselves.
