The Heath Brothers - Smilin' Billy Suite

[@iTheRealBigbosceoProductions]

The impact this song put in the building of Hip Hop is unmeasurable. The sample at 06:03 to 06:24 is priceless. Jimmy Heath was James Mtume's father

[@SPMG769]

Respect due. I'm an aficionado of sorts but wasn't aware of that fact...✊

JImmy passed away Last Night, Jan 22, 2020. He will be sorely missed in the NYC Jazz world...and the jazz world in general. I met him too, in Minnesota during the 70s

[@robschneider1351]

Dang, such a beauty is going to get removed because you monetized it! Remove the ads so this beauty can stay online. I've seen it happen to countless vids over the years. The only ones that get to stay are non-monetized

[@kaydh9875]

[@TheFanusik]

Does the Smilin Billy stand for Billy Higgins?? Anyone knows ??

[@lordeldauoud142]

Yes It Does! Billy Passed A While Back(RIP)! Apparently The Were Good Friends! I like Him From His Playing With The Late Great Lee Morgan(RIP) On His Lp Entitled "Caramba"! I Think This Was Their Tribute To His Apparent Good Nature.

[@VonG063]

Now I know where everything come from

[@RAMLIA1]

❤️❤️❤️

[@yvesamani7660]

where can I download/purchase this??????

[@icedrum1]

yves amani to my knowledge, it's unattainable.

[@JR-bz7ov]

Just download this on flvto. Its what I’ve done

[@Obsidian451966]

It is from The Heath Brothers ‎1975 album "Marchin' On". CD's are available on discogs dot com or Amazon. On discogs check out the 1995 Japan release for $37.97... others are much more expensive. There's no difference sound quality, just different licensing.

[@thomliakos5164]

X oh on.

[@GusDNvincible]

...grab my Cape and shades...

[@tali703]

why does the intro make me think of BattleStar Galactica ??? Edit: i think this is why - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHWnpGmvj5mXmNU or at least one of the MANY theme tune Bear Macreary uses awsome stuff though...

[@EMJazzy]
