Great piece of art with a bass line beyond words...And great inspiration for “Men in black” theme!!!

[@KanjiG3]

It was a sample used for that song so

[@akilbalgo1497]

Patrice is a genuine musical prodigy who inspired Prince, and Freddie Washington's bass playing on her records was magical. There's also Gerald Albright on sax. He and Freddy would later play on Anita Baker's albums.

Why ?

[@JorbyTinky]

@@l_j_c_5397 The Men in Black samples the main hook of this song

[@sanjayr]

@@JorbyTinky Yeah i had no idea this was the basis but it's unmistakeable now, this song is basically the blueprint for MIB and he didn't change much. But it's a classic so im inclined to think it's not intentionally trying to steal but rather paying homage/giving respect.

[@Idontknowmaybejohnsmith]

"Here come the MEN IN BLACK" Man, I love both songs tbh. Miami samples "The beat goes on" by the Whispers too. Also both awesome (except that damned island part in the Miami music video where it changes up. I HATE that part...)

[@Idontknowmaybejohnsmith]

@@sanjayr plus he added a bunch of sweet lyrics and the movie was a kickass classic from the 90's.

[@simplypumpedup5392]

Man, that bass line from Freddie Washington was an iconic. He wrote that song too. Freddie also played bass for Anita Baker Sweet Love (The Rapture album), Dionne Warwick's "That's what friends are for", Phil Collins' "Two Hearts" and many famous. artist.....

Happy, wonderful, lyrics and instrumentals......sadly missing today. I love that Saxaphone! My sister long gone played the sax. Be safe everyone. Love each other. Be kind to all.
