This song was produced in Muscle Shoals Alabama by the great team of Terry Woodford and Clayton Ivey! After hearing this, Motown made Ivey and Woodford the first white Motown members. Unfortunately, in the Mid 80s, Latoya Jackson and her Entourage came to Wishbone to record. One night, something in the studio caught fire and the studio was almost completely destroyed. It was eventually re -built and local artists put it to great use.

This was the first song I ever heard from The Commodores before I was old enough to even get my learner's permit. I was a fan of late sixties and early seventies rock but this really grabbed my ear. Had the Sly Stone funk down. Loved the percussion (loved drummers who played double bass drums) and the keys. Proud they were from my home state too. I wish that Lionel would have done his solo projects but kept up his presence in the band. I was thrilled when they hit it huge again with Night Shift, but who knows where they'd be if Lionel would have continued on with them?

This is one of those songs that was so iconic in the 70's. But from my childhood, I rememeber it more for hearing it during commercials, or commercial breaks, or tv shows, or something. It wasn't until I was grown that I found out that it was actually the commodores who made it LOL How crazy is that. It's not the sound that I associated with the Commodores.

I remember hearing this instrumental a long time ago, played on our local radio station here in Asia. It was played as the opening and closing theme for a certain music programme which according to my memory was 'Now Music USA'. It was fantastic and I really liked it. But at that time I never knew that this was by The Commodores because I thought they played only songs and not instrumentals. This was a very outstanding rendition of keyboard artistry indeed!
