This jam is pure NEW YORK CITY at its best!!!
Heavy Funk with Latin Percussion and jazzy keyboards all SUPER sexed up!!!!
Streets went CRAZY when this came out.
Dudes with humongous boom boxes rocking it on the corner, at the park.
And then in the clubs... getting sexy wid it on the dance floor...
What an awesome era to grow up in.
70's: Best era EVER musically speaking...
