A master of novelty/disco funk, saxophonist Jimmy Castor started as a doo wop singer in New York. He wrote and recorded "I Promise to Remember" for Wing With the Juniors in 1956, a group whose roster included Al Casey Jr., Orton Graves, and Johnny Williams. Castor replaced Frankie Lymon in the Teenagers in 1957 before switching to sax in 1960. He appeared on several soul-jazz and Afro-Latin sessions and had a solo hit with "Hey Leroy, Your Mama's Callin' You" on Smash in 1966. Castor also played sax on Dave "Baby" Cortez's hit "Rinky Dink." He formed the Jimmy Castor Bunch in 1972 and signed with RCA. Their first release, It's Just Begun, launched Castor's next phase with the song "Troglodyte (Cave Man)." It was a Top Ten R&B and pop smash. Castor continued the trend in 1975 with "The Bertha Butt Boogie" and later recorded "E-Man Boogie," "King Kong," "Bom Bom," and "Amazon." The Castor band included keyboardist/trumpeter Gerry Thomas, bassist Doug Gibson, guitarist Harry Jensen, conga player Lenny Fridle Jr., and drummer Bobby Manigault. Thomas left to join the Fatback band. Castor recorded as a solo performer from 1976 until 1988. He had one of his bigger hits in many years with a 1988 revival of "Love Makes a Woman," which paired him with disco diva Joyce Sims. Castor had his own label, Long Distance, in the '80s. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide.

I spent months as a kid trying to find this song, but never knew the artist's name. It only aired for one week on my local radio station. I remembered it note for note. 45 years later I found it!!!!! so great. Thank you.

That happened to me with the Doobie Brothers "Minute by Minute". Heard it once, loved it immediately, and then could NOT find it for like 15yrs because I could only remember the melody but not the words. Then one day I heard it playing in a bank and IMMEDIATELY looked it up and finally, a piece had been put back into place.

One of my all time favorite songs. I have not listened to this track by the GENIUS JIMMY CASTOR in such a long time and being a fortunate witness to one of his performances in Harlem, NYC was truly a revelation. In addition, he was a good friend of a buddy of mine who was also a music GENIUS in his own right.

I used to play the 45 of "Space Age" over and over and over grooving in my bedroom back in 1976 (15 years old going on 16). Also, the Rimshots "Super Disco" and Van McCoy's "Party". What awesome memories!!!!

Sometimes, I look around at all of the insanity, & say to myself, "I was born too late."
But music like this makes me glad I was around in the '70's to hear it the 1st time around.

💫✨ Just why couldn’t I have guessed that YOU had this funky rocker, Slay’d!?! 😏 I’ve only been tryna hear it outside of my mind’s ear 👂🏾 since the mid 70’s!!! (I used to think the Artist was : ‘Heatwave’ for a long time); the synth(s) always made this song groove to me & every keyboardist 🎹 had to measure up to Chris Jasper (The Isley Brothers/IJI/Solo, 87-ish to present) as far as MY 9-10y/o mind was concerned! 😆 Ha! Many Thx for even having this in your musical “🎶” arsenal and uploading it!!! 👏😁 💫✨
