I was in Italy around 1976 when I heard it and I still love it. Yambu put a nice spin on it.

I've always found the changes and polyrhythmic complexities of this joint hypnotic.

One of the killer songs from the First Age of Disco (1970-76). I hadn't heard this in scores of years, and it still sounds great with all that brass and keyboard. This could still move a dance floor, i'll bet.

This is the first song that Spotify played when I asked my google home to play “porn music”. (What can I say, I was curious)
Instead I just found a whole new category of music (no, not “porn”)! Loving the randomness of the interwebs.
