1989, Thanksgiving. Sunday evening in West Germany at the Army Community Center on Ferris Barracks. The ACC had a Thanksgiving dinner for the troops. I remember having dinner with four kings. PHILIP ARMSTER, BRUCE BILLINGS, BRUCE PORTER, AND VICTOR ROMAN. Every time I listen to this song, I think about that dinner. Where ever you four kings are at, I just want to say that i miss you all, and I wish we could get together and have another Thanksgiving dinner.

Got hip to this nice melodic tune back in like 95' ( Grabbed that CD like hawt cakes ) when I used to listen to the Sunday morning jazz at Savannah State back in the 90's, at that time it was the only time you can hear Smooth Jazz on the air waves between 11: a.m. - 2 p.m. They had a dj named Chubb and homie used to be cold hard jammin' Have ta give big ups to the brother where ever he is for re awakening my taste for smooth jazz because prior to that the only time I got to hear a lot of smooth jazz and see smooth jazz bands was when I was in Tampa in 84' so there was a big void until then and that void came again when he left until I came online...

Then just before reading your comment another name popped in my head, Keith Killego, and then it dawned on me; And your comment confirmed it. Of course, "The Blackbyrds"!!!!!😏👍... I had no idea this was one of his Signature Jazz Tunes! It's certainly (Universally) known and Jazz Stations across the country have used this cut to open their forums for years. Definately a Classic! Kevin Toney of Donald Byrd and the Blackbyrds! Memories my brother! Boy were we entertained by them and many others, Back In The Day.....
