I'm 62 but this still gets me on the floor!!

Laws was 25 when he recorded this and this song still sounds good 45 years after its release.

My dad is a professional bass player. He was the only white guy in the band when playing for DJ Rogers. Most of the music played in my house in the 70's was jazz fusion and this song was one of the best. He flipped over to the blues in the 80's but this is the music of my childhood.

It's 2022, and yes, I'm still listening to Ronnie Laws and this FANTASTIC TUNE!!!

This is the type of music that is just objectively good. No one can resist grooving to it, no matter what age, sex, or ethnicity.

This came on while I was waiting for a fill at the gas station. Other folks came by to find out what I was listening to because they said I was jamming too hard 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽

Can you imagine getting dressed in your finest to hear music like this being played live?!........wow!!

It didn't get any better than Ronnie Laws and Donald Byrd in the mid 70's!

Love this jam from the first day it came out. One word of warning, though: Don't...do not...EVER...play this song in your car and then get on the freeway! Guaranteed speeding ticket!

One of the best tunes ever created period!!

I’m a late comer. But it’s never too late for gems like this. Such wonderful music.

Wonderful Jazz-Funk I first bought in mid seventies Glasgow.

Wow! A true classic by Ronnie Laws.

My first 3 albums in high school . ..were Jeff Beck blow by blow, EWF Gratitude and Ronnie Laws Pressure sensitive. Thankyou for posting this!! This groove will never get old!!!! Awesome jam!!!!!

Tune just explodes into life..full force,multi-layered jazz-funk defying time and gravity..

Now thats music baby! The seventies was the time for great music.

1975. What a great year. Graduated with my Master's and began my real adult life in Boston.

Yes! When music was music! This song take me back to when I was in the fourth grade ,living in Pasadena California. My mother made us clean up and rake leaves. We , me and my sister heard this playing two or three times EVERY Saturday, along with some Denise Williams, Norman Conners, and many other greats. A simpler time, and a better time and place.

The Unparalleled Classic COOL of the '70's is where I LIVE.

All time classic never gets old

At work, 6:00am private duty nurse, my patient and his family are sleeping. I got both the ear buds in to get the full effect. Song started and it rose all up in me and I had to control the holler. All I can do is chair dance and enjoy my brain marinating in all this perfection. Thank you so much.

I was working the night shift , listening to the jazz station KBCA FM in L.A. and when I heard this for the 1st time I had to buy this album and I was a fan for life. Then , I found out about his talented family and their musical colaborations, The Jazz Crusaders, Hubert Laws and Joe Sample, Eloise Laws " Love comes easy" I saw Ronnie at a club in Redondo Beach, Ca. called the Golden Bear. It was a great show. I feel so blessed to have been there in that era. I am still groovin to this in 2019! Peace and Love

You instantly become cooler by association just for listening to this piece of music.

Every time I hear this tune I want to hear Ronnie's version. Still brings me tears of joy. This stuff never gets old

This is when true musicians made music for the masses. And we loved it!!!!!!!!!!!

I STILL listen to Ronnie Laws greatest hits all the time. Can't believe this was way back in 1975 .... amazing time period, amazing music!

Just about to finish schooling and learning to be a DJ..This is one song that got me in the mood..

epitomizes the great contemporary jazz era of the late 70s...

The era of great music !😎

A classic jam without a doubt!

The forever Ronnie "Winning" Laws. Great muzik. Love you always.

I remember dancing to this song at a party while attending Howard U on a semester program from my college. I did some fancy handwork as I was dancing and the guy I was dancing with said, "ooo, are you from Philly?" I always thought that was a gas and remember it almost every time I hear this song, lol!

I totally agree: This is one of the most groovy tunes ever composed and makes you shake your hips involuntarily! Funk at its best.

one talented family Hubert, Ronnie, Eloise and Debra

1975 a great year and a timeless classic by Ronnie Laws...

A TOTALLY BRILLIANT PIECE OF MUSIC, BY A TOTALLY BRILLIANT MUSICIAN IN RONNIE LAWS ! THIS SONG IS TIMELESS!

Truly this is music for the soul

I HAVEN'T HEARD THIS GENUINE CLASSIC IN A LONG TIME, BUT IT STILL SOUNDS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS RELEASED.

This was the hit off this LP , as I remember it was played on the radio. I bought this LP along with Brezzin by George Benson at the time , a " Win -Win ". I haven't heard this song in 35 years , whoa Im getting old .

This recording never gets old. 42 years later, still sounds amazing!

I've loved this song all of my life! It's the best!!! 🎶💃🎶🎹🎶

Really Cool tune, great groove, has a bit of a Crusaders feel to it.

This was the JAM back in the day!

So many great memories from back in the day. Thanks Frank and Dana.

There are some songs that tickle you deep down inside and send you into ecstasy, this did this to me in my 20s when I first heard it and it still does at 70, hey some music is magic ❤️🤗❤️

IN 1975, I WAS 13 YEARS OLD AND HAD NO IDEA WHAT FUNK WAS. WHAT I DID KNOW WAS I NEEDED TO HAVE THIS ALBUM. GREAT MEMORIES, THANKS FOR SHARING.

still sounds like yesterday. So So Good for your soul

This song takes me to a place in my head when I was a child and all of my loved ones were here and I can remember family events. Thanks for the song

Just turned 13 I dunno why but I've always liked jazz and KZfaq certainly did a good job recommending me this 70s must have been great

One of the best get up off your ass and get busy tunes ever! Been loving this since it came out. This & Stevie's Songs in the Key of Life, about a year later, both just have a wonderfully positive bounce to them. Almost seems heretical since gump came to power.

Can't stop moving to the groove! Lights the sax 🎷 on fire 🔥 but needs no match!

This song, just like it's "Title", Will always be there, on my all time favorites!

A classic. Still a great groove after all these years.

YESSSSSS HE ROCKED THAT! 2019 AND I'M HERE FOR IT

This is the jam of all jams! Do it Ronnie!

Takes me back to the heady days of the Jazz Funk scene in the 70's, along with Expansions one of my all time top tooones.

Shout out to my pops-William Shane for playing jazz music at home when I was growing up in the mid 70's!!! Today, I have a number of friends that thank my dad for being who is was with the music and being a cool cat!! I am happy

I am in love in this song, specialy in this version. Ronie Laws is phenomenal

this is a classic. ronnie is the best sibling. much respect for hubert , eloise and debra. the whole family is bad. period.

I'm always there, stuck in the 70s. :)

this is a classic piece

I was listening to Ronnie Laws in 1975 at age 22, when all my other friends were into other genres. This song is the reason why ! great JAM !!

Fall 1976 UMASS Amherst - Orchard Hill - Webster 7th floor - and this is coming from Andy & Pooh's room from across the hall. The pied piper was calling and I followed. This song is bringing it all back, thanks you!

awesome track cant find a jazz track like this right off the bat!!!!!!!!

Let it play forever🔥

Great recording I remember this album from my college days, Ronnie Laws was also blowing sax for EARTH WIND & FIRE!!!!! Back in the day

Song sounds as great as it was when I first heard it....45 years ago....funk is the eternal jam!

picture it, 1976. i was a freshman in high school getting off the public transporation bus in birmingham to transfer to the 9 smithfield. i've got 20 minutes before it rolls by, so i go to newberry's dept store to the music section AND THIS SONG WAS PLAYING...that moment was indelibly etched in my mind, even to this day. i didn't know who was playing as i had never heard it before, so i had to ask. i bought it for about 95cents...was a dark blue record. caught the 9 and COULDN'T WAIT to get home. that was THE VERY FIRST jazz record i ever owned. it received greater rotation with my other soul 45s (AWB, EW&F, chaka, war, george duke just to name a few.) and so my affinity with jazz began...eumir deodato, the crusaders, bobby hutcherson, grover, michael franks, lonnie liston smith, roy, boz, sergio, nancy, sarah...you get the idea. the 45s are LONG GONE, but i STILL HAVE my LPs and a victrola (LOL, jkjk, a newmark turntable, Denon tuner amp & bose speakers)...@ 57 years of age, i look back and realize HOW LUCKY some of us were to have had the exposure. Fortunately for the young pups, they too can reach back and listen to what came before. sigh... i can remember ALL THAT ISH, but W H E R E did i put my KEYS?!! don't laff...you're up next boo. LOL, uncle tinsley

Although some people say it's before my time this is a song my mother played when I was 13 years old and I caught the groove. I'm 60 now and still enjoy this song instrumental or with words. Its nice you can still hear it with you tube because over the years the album she had has disappeared.

Played this for the family at thanksgiving in 2022 and it still GIVES!!!

I remember when my brother brought this album home from the military when he was stationed at Fort Meade MD. I'm from a small rural town in VA, and I probably wouldn't have ever heard this. It's still one of my favorites, especially in the warmer months.😊

Ronnie was an INSTANT constant play on turntable. Blew those headphones up. FRIDAYS were my jazz funk days !!!!!!!

This classic song inspired a few disco re-makes and couple of house versions too. Incredible!

For those of you who have never heard this...hold on. It has been sampled and covered by a multitude of jazz artists. A truly great piece...

Proud to play this song. We strive to do it justice.

RONNIE LAWS IS ALSO A TRUE MASTER AT HIS CRAFT AND I STILL ENJOY ALL HIS MASTERPIECE WORK OF ART, & YES HIS MUSIC CONNOISSEURS WILL CONTINUE ENJOY FROM HERE TO ETERNITY

Classic tune from all the soul weekenders I’ve been to from 1983-now. Been proud to introduce this funk / jazz funk to my kids while they grew up🎶

Man, can you imagine walking into a studio with this song and management asking for your resume? And your answer is "Well, I played sax for Earth, Wind and Fire and my producer is Wayne Henderson". As if somebody was gonna say "no".

Just discovered the tune playing off a local FM station while driving to work and I was wowed. I quickly shazamed it and here I am.

WOW music you can feel down in your soul gotta love it Peace++++*

This song reminds me of my dad R.I.P., he had this album when I was little and used to play it!!

What a cool tune. It never gets old. Makes me feel good whenever I hear it. That's what great music does. And what Ronnie did!

What a groove back then and still !... thanks.

Happy Birthday Ronald Wayne "Ronnie" Laws!

Love Ronnie laws for his Austin and genuine musical talents.He is truly a musical genius.

I am so feeling this on this blissful Saturday afternoon!!!

Great song. Meant to be played at a special time with that special lady Never lost its appeal for me. Be blessed ! Celebrating my 28th wedding anniversary on the 22nd

Ronnie Laws. 'Nuff said. Classic. Thanks for the upload. Blessings

This is the first I ever heard of Ronnie Laws. It's the song I bought the album for. It's the song that brought Ronnie Laws to our attention...at least here in New York City. And all other versions pale by comparison. Dare I say it, yes even Chaka's and I love her. Thanks for the post.

It is one of the most beautiful tracks I've ever heard!!! I used to be a contemporary dancer a long time ago and a friend of mine bought the vinyl version as my lovely mum was dying and it reminds me that she will always be there! I dance the best solo ever in my head! We always are own best DJs!!! xxxxx

To me, this has always been an amazing song by an amazing artist... Love this love this...😎😎😎😎

This song is so beautiful that I cry every time I hear it

I've loved this every since I first heard as a teen. That driving beat and sax attack just blew me away ! Good stuff here !

So great to hear Authentic 🎶. So miss real music. Greatful I can enjoy. Sent to me from a friend who appreciates it 2.

What a classic powerhouse jam. One of the best songs ever to drive you down the road in your car. Hot, hot, hot.

It's nothing like the sound of Ronnie Laws... always a join to listen, too... The music takes me back, too.... My teens year.. My father introduced me to jazz..... back then.. in the 60's, 70's, and on.... today.... I appreciate it more , now....then ever.........:-)

I love this song I was raised on this music I can picture my dad pretending to play the instruments smh RWG dad I miss you

wild song by Ronnie Laws, 1970's RULED

My very first concert was Earth Wind and Fire in 1976. It was incredible, but I remember that they had this tune playing on the speakers as we found our seats. I'd never heard of Ronnie before and this song grabbed me like few have either before or after. Years later I worked in the woodwond instruments industry and had the privilege of meeting him. He came from a very talented musical family.

Aunt June Elaine, here's our "jam"-I still remember a Saturday afternoon in early '78 during that Armageddon snow blizzard; as Soul Train was on, this Ronnie Laws record played-and Aunt June was cleaning the air filter in her console-style humidifier! This song and some latter singles are still favorites of mine today!!
