Seems like yesterday. And yes those were great times. Keep spreading the word to the young people.

[@monogramadikt5971]

the atmosphere back then was so different, i grew up in the rock and roll industry, was hitting up black music clubs at 14 with my friends, grew with hiphop as it took root, evolved into rave culture, jungle drum and bass and beyond but being a kid in a pre internet, pre mobile phone world was something almost impossible to describe to anybody born after the 1980s i guess, subcultural movements took dedication back then, it wasnt a click of the mouse, next next next type involvement, you kind of had to physical commit quite a large chunk of yourself to be part of communities that revolved around sounds like this because it wasnt available via mainstream delivery systems

[@gavinstief4323]

I was there, and when this song came on it was electric

[@ervineokuboh7459]

It was a floor filler ! In 1980 when this came out, I danced to this in packed out clubs in Liverpool, Manchester, London, Rome and Paris.

@Booshank23. Words can't explain how great it was and the women were drop dead gorgeous. It was a wonderful time to be a young man back then and I would give anything to go back but sadly those days will never return.

I'm 15, and a music producer. I'm very impressed with the composition of this. My parents are from the 60s and constsntly listen to music from the 70s and 80s. This one has caught my eye for a while, a swing rhythm with upbeat but slow vocals, with strings mixed in. This is a very good and ahead of it's time song. George Benson has some of the most futuristic music for his era.

In 1983, an uncle bought a beautiful, brand new 2-door Grand Marquis and equipped it with a good Pioneer audio system. One night he took a cousin and I to dinner in that car and they were playing this song on the radio. My uncle came on. The volume and rhythm of this song, the car was driving down a boulevard, the atmosphere of the environment with the city lights and the powerful and smooth ride of the car, combined with that song, created a very special moment that I still remember very pleasantly. . beautiful times without a doubt.

Mixed emotions cuz life kinda sucked for us in Spanish Harlem. 70s and 80s were hard in NYC with no dad in the house. Mom was young and from the islands (Puerto Rico). She had no clue how to live in a city. I guess she did the best she could given her situation.

[@Jolar70]

Yes, but it's a dyed in the wool '70's song! It's always the trouble with the decade hand-over years! The new decade is just an infant without a fixed personality yet. BUT, half of the prior decade was definitely building up to it! So it's 50/50, but I would agree this song is way more 70's than what would become '80's music.

[@beatriceguzman5146]

Yesterday

[@c_bizzle9588]

If you reading this listen to this becuz it's a banger then we can all vibe together

[@383chevymc]

2020 anyone? Wish I had grown up in the 80s. To my parents if you ever see this, you were very fortunate to have grown up in that decade

[@pizzatime8773]

But chances are you wouldn’t be able to hear lots of the songs you associate with that decade

[@khamalybhangra9800]

Recording and mixing music to Casette Tape from Radioshows with the ghettoblaser coz you cant afford LPs and have limited access to music

[@383chevymc]

It's not more so the music it's those years in general. 60s 70s 80s, look what we were left with. People mush mouthing all you understand is bitch or what ever drug their on. Those days though they were fucked up regarding how strong racism was then, those years still in my eyes are more innocent.

[@383chevymc]

@@khamalybhangra9800 lmao I use to do that too, the last cassette I recorded was like in 2003 and it had some of eminem's first few songs lol. I miss the cassette. Shit I still use CDs.

[@stefengels8487]

I grew up during that time incl. the tape recording from the radio. Like when the DJ started talking b4 the song was finished. Lol

[@sadiquaw]

We are so blessed to know this music in this day and time

[@nickcranny2980]

Hell Yeah! You da bomb girl for sayin that! It's so true!

I played this for my grandpa, and I saw a part of him that I've never seen before. It was like he became 30 years younger. Lol it was gold.

[@hayesmyers2259]

[@kevinpayton2664]

Great song. First heard it during the hot, hot summer of 1980.

[@kkwok9]

And a great summer it was!

[@TheLast2laugh]

George Benson & Rod Temperton.. Genius producer!

[@RS-mj3pm]

Love this tune! I'm 26 and when I hear these soulful bangers on late night drives it makes me happy, I like that his track has 45 mil views, talk about timeless

[@glorianorris4168]

iamravsandhu I was about 28 but the song

[@Mrmusha53]

if you don't move when you hear this, you have no heart beat

[@alonsomartinez5084]

Or Just listen and enjoy :)

[@MikeJones-dd5wj]

I'm layin' on the couch. But my neck is dancin'.

[@christophersantana5895]

THIS SONG IS STILL A PURE FUNK SOUL CLASSIC AFTER 42 YEARS.

[@mbaligasa8226]

Thanks to my father who introduced me to this kind of music❤️

[@Isabella-wm3th]

"I remember listening this as a kid..." nah I'm just kidding. I'm 17 years old and I love old school music!

[@matkyalo4992]

Ivy Vasconcelos I'm 16 and I remember my parents playing this all day in the house and car!! Lol wish our generation made good music like this

[@scootermacaroni9837]

Jesus this turned fast...

[@triggeringtrolls7322]

Joseph TheHatbox I really don't think he had anything to do with it...probably the one on the lowest rung of the ladder had everything to do with it.😬

[@christelleh7288]

Same ;)

[@geraldjeffery321]

Hey : I am 70 ! Still dance whenever I hear this track ! " BRILLIANT ! ""

No matter how shitty my day was, I play some George Benson and my mood instantly gets better. This tune is so tight.

[@cherylcurvan5968]

Agreed

[@michaelconstantino4913]

Such an uplifting song.

[@lindakoch9524]

Exactly!! Feel Good Song!

[@SandraMcguire-xn6yv]

I agree

[@mrtoyotaro6793]

Dat bassline... 😎

[@jameshayden2538]

That Was The Quincy Jones/Rod Temperton Era. Great Music Being Made

[@gregmiller9710]

..that ain't no shit man..

[@maxschneidewend6153]

It's unstoppable.

[@dipuc4life]

I'm gonna learn that one day ... one of the hardest (ie BOSS) baselines EVER!

[@AfferbeckBeats]

Someone has one hell of a funky left hand. According to wiki it was written and composed by keyboard player Rod Temperton. So that's why it's so good!

[@lisamiller4769]

I Love George Benson. He really wanna make you groove to his music. I Love it and you will too.

[@vickyvignesh4396]

Lol

[@lisamiller4769]

[@rideordie3033]

I was privileged enough to have an amazing childhood. My parents had get togethers all the time and the music set the mood. Although their divorced they still remain good friends. 8 tracks and cassettes were awesome.

[@corylackland8377]

Indeed. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZC9nXl6ps1lqK8

[@vaelfonia]

How could _fifteen-thousand people_ dislike this amazing song?!

[@dr_mabuse]

tehy are all nazi's

[@blanknam3d]

Those people are just stupid kids that keep going "oK BoOmEr" at literally anyone that doesn't instantly agree with their fragile brains and supersized superiority complex. Not much needs to be said, they're idiots that are always convinced they're better just because they're the next generation, despite not knowing how to use a can opener.

[@H2ORaccoon]

Because they didn't get the night

[@ntsakoshilubane5025]

James H they are country music fanatics, they don’t have educated ears

[@gwendolynsmith6423]

This was my monster unwind hit back in the day. This song brought me through many hard days. George taught me to fly on the spare of the minute, 🌟 💫 star light 💡 look 👀 in my eyes, on difficult days!!! 🌟🔥🙏🏾👏🤷🏽‍♀️❤️❤️❤️⚡️Mind over matter,baby!!!!

[@sm64erroreditionMANU]

The best time of the music is 70s and 80s

[@greeshmapradeep715]

💯

[@rightonwashington5696]

Sorry manu, best music is 60's and 70's

[@robharris2710]

come on people, we need these back dont we ?

[@JahangirZadeh]

Would you believe it was nearly three decade since this ? Still nice 2016 nearly 2017 soon

[@badfireman13]

That's how you spot a masterpiece. It doesn't age, its getting better with time

[@andre.trindade]

I was 4, when he first sang this song and I love it!

[@AMARS11663]

Jahangir more than 30 years......

[@sandraruiz2212]

omg this song makes me feel like i am a little kid again living my life to the fullest! growing up in the 80s (born 75) was seriously the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lastdays8574]

I was born in 74 and I remember my dad playing this when he came home from work.

[@zhugangreala5388]

Yes it was. The best time to be alive

[@corylackland8377]

You guys have me by a few years. I was born in "79". I remember jamming to this as a kid though. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZC9nXl6ps1lqK8

[@argyle1805]

How utterly stunning is this track? It could go on 8 or 9 minutes and still wouldn’t be long enough. God bless you, George. This is a killer, nearly 40 years after its release. 😍

[@rymndry]

When he says “gimme the night” with that funky bass in the background I make that stank face like damn this song is timeless😍😍

[@bufetman]

I just saw George Benson live today in Berlin and it was breathtaking!!! this song was also performed and I loved it even more....

[@eskild728]

bufetman I just discovered him, and I already love this

[@corylackland8377]

@Andre Sabio My sentiments exactly. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2jShYRuhs-Xd8U

[@nowitsabadtime]

This is such a 'multi-layered' song. Recorded in reverb, you have the handclaps, the trumpets, the girls singing in the background. With George Benson, you really can't go wrong ;)

[@Retroscoop]

The violons, the bumblebeeing bass, male back up vocals.

[@jans7676]

And Quincy Jones' production :)

[@Retroscoop]

jans7676 All the ingredients needed for the perfect cocktail...

[@jameshayden2538]

You Nailed The Ingredients Of The Song . You Really Know The Quality Of Music.

[@alexpea4379]

Patti Austin was only female background singer. Her voice was multitrack!

[@mikeparker9595]

This track is a burner. I can't believe I'm just hearing it for the first time

[@hakunamatata289]

Been hocked since dayz.. This is pure Fire

[@rusemode]

One of the few songs that feel like the first time every time I play it..

[@terrenceramsey8894]

Rodney Temperton also wrote "Love X Love"; a bigger Pop hit in Fall 1980: both are gems!!

[@psychoshamrock]

I can feel the rollerskates on my feet. Smell the bbq, and basically that heat of summer of 1980.

[@tongatiger]

+Lulu Belle Omg I was going to post something similar. Oh to be 8 again!

[@peakperformancetrain]

It was crazy hot that summer in the south

[@tongatiger]

I was in Alabama. Stick of Orange Crush Lipsmackers melting in my pocket and drinking from the hose.

[@kaylapratto8310]

FNA!!

[@neplazspazola2262]

imaging that😂😂👍

[@Hasan-yq4pt]

The 3,000+ people who disliked this song probably don't want to give him the night

[@jackiedavies7756]

One of my very favourite songs ever!
