Good music as usual, thanks a lot for sharing!
Thank you Taylor, you’re quite welcome.
MUY BUEN BLOGGER SALUDOS DESDE URUGUAY
gracias Javier
thank’s for this one ….this is funk music reminds me ”BAR-KAYS”
Bar-Kays, interesting comparison, I always related this song more to Roger and Zapp, regardless, it is a very good, underrated funk tune
Hi, you’re site is da bomb, and the quality excellent. I’m sure, I have something special for you. I re-remix old classics without changing their purity. I create new versions by combining the best parts of Extended, Dub, Acapella, Percapella, Bonus Beats etc. to a new remix. I would like to send you some examples I’ve your are interested. I’m sure you would be satisfied.
Wish you the best and hope to hear from you!

Sounds interesting, how about you share your work on the Fun With Vinyl Facebook page? You can upload your mixes and Share the links to the Facebook page, I’m sure there are many other readers who would be interested in hearing your work. Thanks.
I like the last couple of minutes, where Troutman gets his Zapp thing going, then really nice piano breakdown in the last minute with horns playing against that…starts really sounding like a live band…going to have to use that part in a mix sometime.
Nice find, I didn’t know this 12″. Thanks!
you’re welcome oldDJ, enjoy
I was just thinking about this Record, I have this on Cassette tape. the whole album. and Here is the 12 inch Mix! WOW Thanks.
You’re welcome Dez
hey Richie,
Never heard this one before…
what the hell happened to the promotion of this track at the time at Columbia? This is hot stuff,
R.I.P. Mr. Troutman
Thank you once again Richie
Good question RC, I heard this song on my local R&B station, WJIZ, at the time it was released. Loved the sound of it when I first heard it and then understood why when I got the record and saw it was produced by Roger.
