While Ayers aimed this feel-good record directly at the dance crowd, in 1976 it was heard coming out of passing cars and on apartment stoops as much as in discotheques. A Top 10 R&B and jazz hit, this one still shines with Ayers' liquid vibes and soulful grooves-- a sound that would be much copied, sampled and emulated decades later. - Nick Dedina, Rhapsody

My fault, Cody. Didn't qualify the quote - he was referring to the album rather than the track. Neverthelesst, it works out; this your second gut-laugh inducing comment lately. Much appreciated.

Listening to this just after a massive thunderstorm - perfect somehow....

If I'm not completely wrong Roy Ayers is a regular guest on the "Dancefloor Jazz" series. So one ought to think, that one could dance to this. Maybe not exactlly to this song, but still ... . Easy Listening before the term was coined.

Beauty, Reckon - plain and simple.
Cody B: Slow-dancing! It's still all the rage...
ivylander: Would that have been...a quiet storm?
