I played this awesome track over and over the day I proposed to my wife 10 years ago. I proposed to her out at dinner that night. The best decision I ever made. We have two beautiful sons now. 🙂

@akinsankofa from 1978 untill 1989 I used to get all my jazz/funk/soul records from the Top Ten record shop in Selly Oak, it was the only shop we knew were the staff were really into Jazz/funk/soul. All the U.S imports were available upon asking. You could go in have a coffee and chat whilst listening to the new stuff that week, Brilliant! Needless to say I have this on U.S 12" Import, bought it whilst they were over here on the 'World is a Ghetto' tour with 'Blood Sweat and Tears' both Awesome!

Simply one of the best tunes ever heard ( discovered on "loft classics' rare CD rendition by Dave Mancuso) Sylvestest Agurs : I don't know what's the best version between this one and George's ("In Flight" LP) : the arrangements are epic-classious by War but George, to me, did his best solo ever on his version. Theses 2 tracks are a part of disco-jazz-funk anthology and even of all kinds of music

This is the REAL War aka The Lowrider Band, the original artists who made this song famous. There is a FAKE War now touring under the War name but are nothing but a tribute band with just 1 OG member. How did this happen? Because they were stripped of the name they made famous by "music producer" Jerry Goldstein who manages the poser band and is raking in the bucks the War name brings. Harold Brown, Howard Scott, Lee Oskar and B.B. Dickerson, The Lowrider Band, are the REAL War.
