This was THE jam in Brooklyn N.Y. (Red Hook) in the 70's. Couldn't have a block party without it.

Very true. My mom used to be a beautician in the 70s and every time she closed the shop, she heard "that song about some ol ma cuckoo" lmao 😂😂😂, but this song is so good it made me dance a mild salsa and hip-hop. She heard me playing it again, and because I'm in rehab, she grabbed my hands and we got down. After the song was over, she asked "Didn't Michael Jackson do that mama coo sah part?" I say "Just like Robin Thicke did "Got to Give it Up" by Marvin Gaye". Mom said "Lawd have mercy. Can't nobody write songs no more?" (She from Arkansas, so she's extra country) I agree with her but I still think this one is better.

@Cheryl Mays Certain types of music come from different cultures. There is no escaping that. Mozart is the height of the classical EUROPEAN tradition, for instance. That is FACT--JUST as FUNK and R&B ROOTS are AFRICAN. It is okay to acknowledge difference and dispense with the delusion of not 'seeing' OR 'hearing' differences.

Saxophonist, vibraphonist, and songwriter Manu Dibango passed away on March 24th, 2020 at a hospital in France of complications of COVID-19. He was 86 years old... Having grown up in Cameroon, Dibango attended high school in France, where he learned to play the saxophone. After leaving school, he began playing in Belgian nightclubs, then he became a member of the Congolese rumba group African Jazz. As a solo artist, Dibango collaborated with other notable musicians including Fela Kuti, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Youssou Ndour, and Bernie Worrell. His “Soul Makossa”* was a Top 40 hit in 1973 and was widely covered by other artists. Its chanted refrain, “mama ko, mama sa, maka makossa,” was adapted by Michael Jackson for his 1983 hit “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin'” and again by Rihanna for her 2007 “Don’t Stop the Music.” In 2009, Dibango sued both artists for using the hook without permission. Jackson admitted he borrowed the line and settled out of court... May he R.I.P. * "Soul Makossa" entered Billboard's Top 100 on June 17th, 1973 at position #88, five weeks later it would peak at #35 {for 2 weeks} and it spent nine weeks on the Top 100...

I was shopping at a Wholefoods one day, and this song was in the background but I had my headphones on. Then when I passed an isle I saw a gorgeous girl softly dancing as she was looking for items. It caught my eye so I took my headphones off and heard the song. I looked it up right away, everytime I listen to it now I always picture her cute dancing to it and appreciate such gorgeous music. RIP Manu.

Back in the early 70s I remember hearing this tune on the radio ,west coast Cali, and looking into music genres recently it turns out that this tune is considered the first disco song...once again, a music style influenced by the dark continent. The song is about a place, it's a chant if sorts, it's easy to absorb the beat due to it's simple construction... Michael Jackson used a chorus line from this song and I hope Manu got paid for it...have a peaceful forever Manu and thank you for this song...

The amp was a Crown DC 300A going through a pair of klipsch Corner Speakers, unbelievable sound to this day I have never heard anything like that, made my skin tingle! Those were the days and all the stereo sales man at Hi-Fi Fo-Fum back in 1972 you were the best!

I think I understand what you're trying to say. But there's a HUGE difference between people wanting what Africans (throughout the diaspora and the homeland) PRODUCE and wanting the PEOPLE who produce it. They want our cultural production but not us. That's the problem.
