If you're 61, then you were 13 or 14 when this came out. I'm also 61, and I remember this from age 13. I went to a different school that year, and I remember being in my middle school jazz band (I was a drummer) and between rehearsals the bass player was working on this song with one of the sax players for a talent show. One of my favorite songs too. It was years before I learned who the band was that performed it.

What a great band; so tight. I remember when I first heard this classic jam as a 16 yr. old back in ‘77; I thought it was a James Brown instrumental version of his “Cut the cake “ song. Both songs were similar with the beat and the brass placements. Every Thursday at my neighborhood rec. we would have little party for the neighborhood kids and this was one of the main standard for getting everyone out on the dance floor. 🎼🎼🎼🕺🏾🇺🇸

This band will be a mystery forever. I mean, seriously, how many: - white(OK, most of them)... - Scottishmen... - digging Funk... - in the mid-70 (in the midst of the disco area)... - and where able to play some at this top notch level... - and when talented and tenacious enough to get successful... - so much so that we still enjoy their music close to 50 years latter! Let's be serious. 1 chance out of 1000? 10,000? 100,000? 1M? Nah. Not a chance. This kind of statistics anomaly do not occur, period. I think they were either a CIA/Aliens/area 51 experiment of some sort, or an actual miracle. Worldwide, for the Scottish part put aside, except for WAR I can't think of another occurrence. Any idea?
