Took me way back to weekends working on old cars with Unc. He had an 8 track player in the 56 Bel Air, it was a red tape with no markings on it. We jammed out to this for yrs. Kept me off the streets and under hoods, where I stay to this day. Thanks Unc!
I HAVE ONLY HEARD THIS TUNE ONCE BEFORE TODAY, AND THAT WAS DECADES AGO!! I WAS IN ANN ARBOR AT A "ALPHA" PARTY AT "MICHIGAN"!! THE BROTHERS HAD A LINE GOING TO THIS TUNE!!

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS TUNE EVER SINCE, DAMN!!

I DAMN NEAR GOT RELIGION☺☺☺ "SOULDON009" THANK YOU!! I OWE YOU BIGTIME!!!!!!! "DOC HODGES"
I heard this on FM radio in the late 70's, found the album in a little used record shop on Crenshaw. According to the album jacket notes, the personnel on this album were locals, and still in their teens. Amazing talent, wonder if they kept with it? Dan Wilson, Dorsey HS, s1963
Harold Johnson went to Washington High in the late sixties, He played every day a noon in the auditorium for free. I would listen to him and the guys Jam. The were a lot better than all the rest at that time in high school. He was discovered by the great Chico Hamilton. The next thing you know the album House on Elm Street hit the air waves, 105.9 the Jazz station. If I`m not mistaken Harold went on teach music.
That is about correct. We were attending Washington HS in Los Angeles. I was in the 10th grade when Harold Johnson recorded this masterpiece! Very talented. It was the talk of the school!
This was real music then & now! Got me through college. Blessing being unto you Harold Johnson Sextet + and all your families.....
It takes less than a second to know that this is good music.

Definatrly a kicker we had the best jazz in the 60's and 70's some of the latest get down but can't compare
I've loved this song and arrangement for years, a masterpiece.
My pleasure...just trying to keep good music alive. Enjoy
Back in the in the day thanks for posting 👍🎹📻🎶🎼🎷🎺
just a great all time blast from the past
Excellent downbeat groover,
a rare gem
I love this !! That bass. havn`t herd this since 1974. Thanks so much
Great news thats what its all about, please that u enjoyed
Jimmy Nash on the bass was just 16! 🔥
luckily for me, my older sister had this album, and I enjoyed it at age 12!
towards the ending I got the feeling this number inspired the groove behind Steely Dan's Do It Again. I love this mood.

That is about correct.

Very talented.
