including the remakes, I'd like to add. If they wouldn't have it on as background filler, I wouldn't be as likely to play this tune as much. Either on vinyl or over here, it only depends where I'm located. But every time I hear this tune I want to hear Ronnie's version. Still brings me tears of joy, always at/after the second drop (as dj's would call tt. It's the second chorus if I'm not mistaken, or for anyone else, around the 3.24 mark) Man, it's amazing what music can do with human beings

My dad is a professional bass player. He was the only white guy in the band when playing for DJ Rogers. Most of the music played in my house in the 70's was jazz fusion and this song was one of the best. He flipped over to the blues in the 80's but this is the music of my childhood.

I was working the night shift , listening to the jazz station KBCA FM in L.A. and when I heard this for the 1st time I had to buy this album and I was a fan for life. Then , I found out about his talented family and their musical colaborations, The Jazz Crusaders, Hubert Laws and Joe Sample, Eloise Laws " Love comes easy" I saw Ronnie at a club in Redondo Beach, Ca. called the Golden Bear. It was a great show. I feel so blessed to have been there in that era. I am still groovin to this in 2019! Peace and Love

Had the opportunity of meeting Ronnie Laws in the late 90s/early 2000s. He played at a Boys and Girls Club jazz event in Pasadena, CA. He seemed to be a very nice, down to earth person. My dad knew Wilton Felder of the Crusaders. He grew up in Houston, TX with an older brother of his. And I (coincidentally) went to high school with Wilton's son. He & I kinda felt like cousins after realizing our families knew each other. It's a shame we lost contact after we graduated. They were cool people.

What a cool tune. It never gets old. Makes me feel good whenever I hear it. That's what great music does. And what Ronnie did!

Although some people say it's before my time this is a song my mother played when I was 13 years old and I caught the groove. I'm 60 now and still enjoy this song instrumental or with words. Its nice you can still hear it with you tube because over the years the album she had has disappeared.

This is the first I ever heard of Ronnie Laws. It's the song I bought the album for. It's the song that brought Ronnie Laws to our attention...at least here in New York City. And all other versions pale by comparison. Dare I say it, yes even Chaka's and I love her. Thanks for the post.

picture it, 1976. i was a freshman in high school getting off the public transporation bus in birmingham to transfer to the 9 smithfield. i've got 20 minutes before it rolls by, so i go to newberry's dept store to the music section AND THIS SONG WAS PLAYING...that moment was indelibly etched in my mind, even to this day. i didn't know who was playing as i had never heard it before, so i had to ask. i bought it for about 95cents...was a dark blue record. caught the 9 and COULDN'T WAIT to get home. that was THE VERY FIRST jazz record i ever owned. it received greater rotation with my other soul 45s (AWB, EW&F, chaka, war, george duke just to name a few.) and so my affinity with jazz began...eumir deodato, the crusaders, bobby hutcherson, grover, michael franks, lonnie liston smith, roy, boz, sergio, nancy, sarah...you get the idea. the 45s are LONG GONE, but i STILL HAVE my LPs and a victrola (LOL, jkjk, a newmark turntable, Denon tuner amp & bose speakers)...@ 57 years of age, i look back and realize HOW LUCKY some of us were to have had the exposure. Fortunately for the young pups, they too can reach back and listen to what came before. sigh... i can remember ALL THAT ISH, but W H E R E did i put my KEYS?!! don't laff...you're up next boo. LOL, uncle tinsley
