Hey, I'm 19 but I was raised on good music and this is one of my favorite songs. The bassist is playing one of the funkiest grooves I've ever heard and my hat is off for anybody who can play a jazz flute like that!
In the 70s, we didn't categorize the music. If we could dance to it, it sounded good, was funky, musicians were on point, singers were singing, that's all that was required.
Exactly right. Categorization is mainly done for commercial reasons, but I increasingly believe that you can at most say that there is music for different purposes, without attaching all kinds of labels to it.
Im sitting by a fire pit in back of my house. Just cooked two ribeyes over it with a tripod grill. And I’m enjoying a nice cigar with a Pinot noir watching the fire die as I listen to this on a blue tooth speaker. Wish you all were here with me. If you were, Id break out the Northern Lights and expand all of your minds. Peace.
I was a cab driver in Honolulu when this came out. Driving between Waikiki and downtown Honolulu at night is what comes back to my memories. The days of my youth.
I two am 70 yrs old...this Jam brings peace to my spirit whenever I hear it...Back in da day, had the privilege to catch Lonnie perform expansions at village gate Greenwich Village downtown Manhattan...He blew the audience mind...They scream when he was done...
Blessings of Love🙏🥰..greetings of love from DC🥰🥰..I too am 70 yrs young..back in my twenties there use to be a restaurant on South Capital Street SE....and there is when in Incredibly Discovered!! Mr. Lonnie Liston Smith🤩..he had the ZANZIBAR!!..ROCKING💃💃💃..I got on that floor and Didn't STOP until he was finished!!😂😂..I had the energy, stamina, and vitality ro go on and on😍😂..50byrs later I am still Blessed to" Cut A Rug!!a little bit..at at least..thanks Mr. Smith for that Memorable Dance and Music EXPERIENCE!!
Lonnie is a Richmond, Virginia native along with his brothers Donald & Ray. Their father, Lonnie, Sr. sang with the legendary gospel group, "The Harmonizing Four". Donald is featured here on vocals and is also a accomplished pianist and flutist. Ray is the last original member of the "Jarmels" who made the song "A Little Bit of Soap". Just a bit of history from a homer.
William Squire Thanks for the insight from a homer :-) I wanna make sure I understand, this is NOT Lonnie singing? This is his brother Donald? I've always assumed this was Lonnie on vocals .... wow.
Song is 46 years old and still in the Coolness Hall of Fame. Indescribable how good this song makes me feel. I just know I'm in the wind when I hear it. That intro, that bass, the bongos, the drums and then Lonnie on that synth, then that voice "Expand Your MInd..." A song about love and peace and the brotherhood of man, ending with that plea "Expand Your MInd. Expand Your Mind." Masterpiece, Master Peace, To Everyone Joy and Peace.
Detroit was the Mecca...they had Motown... znd Lonnie .I was blessed to grow up in Chocolate City when it was, the HOWARD Theatre was on 6th St. I lived on 4th so I'd pass it ereday on the way to Jr.HS, I saw the Motown Review, James Brown and the Fabulous Flames, Gene Duke of Earl Chandler. Five Stairsteps, Unifics, I'm 76 July 1st but still with a Childs Heart as Stevie sang, ✌🏽 peace
Had this album when it first came out, now years later, it is still my all-time fave. It has gotten me through some rough times. Love, Joy, and Peace to all.
A lady of at least 60 years of age, was playing this in her Merc convertible, while parked on my local high street. Her face lit up when I told her the name of this track, a kindred spirit she called me!
I’m 73 this month yes it still works and hits the spot every time , a timeless classic of a yearning for peace love and understanding for all mankind , lonnie was a cosmic messenger , some of us heard it but many never did 🎶💚❤️☮️💙 💜🎶
The kind of song you just put in your best work on the dance floor and your body movements make the statement for your. Love saves the day/The loft NYC. Thank you David (RIP).
I had just moved to LA it was 1975 and happiness was i the air.Lonnie took us to another level of consciousness. That still has a resonating effect on me today. Thx My Brother for opening up our Minds. Amen
Still remember that album cover in my dads records.I just ran across this and almost bought me to tears, i can see pops relaxing,eyes closed,headphones on sipping his drink after a long day.R.I.P dad miss you soooo much🙏
This song is a favorite of all us older people. We love it, because it reminds us of how we were fine, living life, grooving with all the music, doing what we do!
Most of this era's music was about motivating love, on a global level!!! The positive energy vibe was what it was all about!!! LLS mastered the sound of positive vibes, much to our delight! Enjoyment of 40 a year now!
Saw this live, part of the 1986 New York Jazz Explosion, Hammersmith Odean, truly COSMIC. along with Tom Browne, Roy Airs, Jean Carn, and an incredible band. Anyone else there?
I celebrated74 yrs on the Planet 28 Aug 2024... Trully a Blessing to hear the Afroenergetic sounds of Lonnie in the 1970s and present... His magical sound still food for the Soul..
This is my fave record of all time. I'm 65 years young now & I still feel the same about it ❤. Takes me back to my clubbing days when I would always go mental when this came on. I pop this on regularly & I can't sit still to it! Amazing ❤❤❤
Heard this in my car on Funky Friday on WXPN in Philly. The intro with triangle, bass, and congas hooked me completely. When I got home I tried to find the name of it on their playlist but it wasn't there. I was pissed! Took me at least five years after that to stumble across it on youtube. I was SO HAPPY!
Lonnie Liston Smith. Back in the early 70s, this is the music of my youth. This music was listened and appreciated by everybody. DA JAM!!!! I'm just saying.
Couldn't agree more, been listening to this for as long as i can remember, years and years and years, at least once a week since, it's like a fix i need, it's one of those tracks you hear for the first time and completely blows you away.
My mind's eye still sees the moment I first heard this song in 1975, riding in a huge white Lincoln Mark IV with windows down, driving between Ft. Lauderdale and Miami.
+Ranger Dan My mind's eye still sees the moment I first heard this song in 1986 cruising the streets of Vice City in my Infernus looking for prostitutes to kill.
+chownful I know it's all tongue in cheek but, man, what an ugly sentiment to be associating with such a lovely tune. Guess the lyrics didn't move you all that much.
@@matthewbritton6960miss brother Gil so much. no disagreement whatsoever in your choice of tracks, always on rotation. search Gil's Midnight Band live recording from 77 and Bremen 83 for cosmic versions of The Bottle.
Can you feel it... This piece is for eternity it comes from a another dimension full of light and love. I think God spoke to lonnie's heart.. playing this and sharing it for all the people on this earth. I was 16Y and I listen to this album since 40Y... And thank you Master for this soul. Blessed are you
AMAZING!!!! My father use to play this original album in our home to expand our mind about jazz music....Then when I get older....I get my membership at the Paradise Garage....and everyone's jacking to the same song....feeling a totally different vibe to what I was taught......and it felt so good!!!! Wow.....how amazing it is to know how music makes you feel....deep inside!
The Paradise Garage! My uncle would tell me stories about that place. He said you didn't start heading there (we're from Brooklyn) until about 1am and wouldn't leave til about 7:30am! Now that's clubbin! He said people who wanted to see stars went to Studio 54...the real dancers partied at The Garage!
Hopefully your uncle mentioned a couple of things to you about the Loft as well, because there was a little of partying and dancing that went on there too!!!
Brilliant 🎵🎶 powerful music of stressful barrier time in mind to expand. The Powerful deadline we all must fulfill before ending mortal lifetime on this universe. This brilliant sound of 🎵🎶 magnetic. You are great Maestro Liston!
I was in College when this album was released...and all these years later it's still a GEM. Flying Dutchman had some great artists and some Classic recordings.
I was a freshman in college when I first heard this and it stayed with me all these years as perhaps the coolest soul stirring song ever. Certainly was part of my introduction to jazz during those glorious NYC WRVR 106.7 jazz radio days.
This is so original, so futuristic, of its time can never tire of this track. Hairs standing on back of neck, goosepimples, heart racing, cant sit still, will not play on headphones in public for fear of being carted off and definatley certified. OUT OF THIIS WORLD MAN
As a PlayStation 2 player, this song literally gives me the chills when I play Grand Theft Auto Vice City. And that's how I became interested on Lonnie Liston Smith.
Iam 71 I love this song back then love it more now a'se.
Us old folks recognize the best music in 2024. It's the music from the 70s, big time.
Yes sir. Forever young . Our music sustains us to this day.
Kool as a bucket full of ice cubes 😎
yes...best decade of music ever!! there was a little bit of something for everyone...no matter what genre you liked!!
The Dr. Makes you well. 😊
Hey, I'm 19 but I was raised on good music and this is one of my favorite songs. The bassist is playing one of the funkiest grooves I've ever heard and my hat is off for anybody who can play a jazz flute like that!
1988 i was 16 at the jazz, funk and soul night at the local nightclub when i heard this classic, i was hooked from that moment onwards.
In the 70s, we didn't categorize the music. If we could dance to it, it sounded good, was funky, musicians were on point, singers were singing, that's all that was required.

Back in the day Lonnie and Roy Ayers were laying down the jazz funk

One of the best songs from back in the days! It's all about PEACE! ✌️

This music was appreciated by everyone.

Talk about a blast from da past fusion jazz tune going back to the WRVR days in the 70's here in the NYC.

Awoke this cloudy Atlanta GA Friday with a dose of Lonnie in the groove section of my oversaturated brain.
A lady of at least 60 years of age, was playing this in her Merc convertible, while parked on my local high street. Her face lit up when I told her the name of this track, a kindred spirit she called me!
Good for u soul chick
Class lives on. I applaud your actions.
Super cool....
Thank You for contributing! What a lovely memory 💁💕

Same Tony, old soul girl checking in!
Never heard this before.. Hell, I must have got off at the wrong bus stop.. This is WONDERFUL.. The funk music out of US in 70's was great.
It's not the destination, it's the journey
I must have been on the same bus
Now it's the right bus stop
One of my favorite cuts from the 70's. Still have the album. Great jazz never gets old.
The rap group Stetsasonic sampled this. I was wondering where that sample came from. After all these years now I know.
You got that right 🌻🌻🕊️🕊️
@@keithgupton9349Talkin'all that jazz🔥🤝

I'm old, love music, love jazz, love this song, love how everybody is jamming to this groove tonight!!

Agree with you all! It’s such a wonderful song! My all time favourite xx🎉xxx❤xxx
Playing this in memory of my Aunt Rosstella Bean who introduced me to Dr. Lonnie Liston Smith. They are enjoying each other heavenly now.
He's still alive 💚
Maybe he's having a "heavenly" time but don't wish the guy dead, yet!
You may be confusing him with Dr Lonnie Smith, also a Jazz musician, who actually is dead.
A timeless masterpiece. Listen and be at peace!
Had the privilege of listening to this during a mushroom trip, as well as most of his discography✌️🔮
This is my fave record of all time. I'm 65 years young now & I still feel the same about it ❤. Takes me back to my clubbing days when I would always go mental when this came on. I pop this on regularly & I can't sit still to it! Amazing ❤❤❤
That's exactly how this song gets you.
This will never, ever, get old. First heard it when it dropped (I was a teenager) and I am still transported today in my early 60's.
This Classic Still kicking in 2019 awesome.
😎😎😎😎
This will be kicking for eternity bro !
Bass line for STETSASONIC "Talking All That Jazz." Pure genius indeed....
True that
