This song came on the radio when I was going to a funeral 3 years ago. I played it a couple days ago, on New Year's Eve, and cried like a baby. I was just about to submit this post and realized this song came out when I was in 8th grade and it was my 8th grade teacher who's funeral I was going to. R.I.P. Mr. Lindsey!

When the song was first released in Houston Texas I saw the Memphis Horns perform this live the last part when they were about to wrap things up to me is one of the most beautiful parts of this song and what I really like about them doing this live with the simple fact that they just stretched it out and stretched it out and it sounded so good you just didn't want that song to end at all truly a masterpiece❤

One of the number one horn band Chicago band #1 I give this bass band #2 in my "BOOK"

[@mjum9014]

Are you referring to the band/group Chicago? If so, YES, they had one of the best horn selections in their group. Other bands with notable horn selections: Earth Wind & Fire, Blood, Sweat & Tears, The Commodores, Kool & the Gang, Tower of Power. The Ohio Players, Memphis Horns (this group) and of course The J.B.'s. The only really "popular" artist with horns playing today's music is Bruno Mars' Hooligans. Forgive me for not being able to think of any others but groups with horns stood out back in the 70's.

[@reneexoxo1]

Frankie Crocker the chief Rocker played this lovely track consistently.

TRUTH................

[@kennethdonnelly2402]

@@alanabrahams2232 I have to ask a really stupid question (as someone who has loved this song since 77, when I bought the album at Duke's records in Joliet-anyone remember Duke's on Collins St.?), why did they not do more things along this vein? I mean, the layering of sound in a very smooth, jazzy latenight sort of way? On a personal note, this song provokes such strong memories of being a 16 year old, in his first real bout with love, walking in the snow with her at night, having nowhere to go to be alone, but still reveling in each other as only true teenage infatuation allows. So I wish there had more of this sound and feel from MH. Just my two cents. All in all, great job!
