UA-cam is the best part of the internet. No idea who created it, but you did the world a favour. 🙏 Thank you to all those who share their fabulous uploads on here. 🎶
UA-cam was created by Steve Chen, Chad Hurley, and Jawed Karim. They were working for PayPal at the time. They sold it to Google in 2006. It was originally created as a dating site.
I picture Myself living in a Beach Condo with a Balcony overlooking the Ocean, wearing a flowing Robe, in the Early Saturday Morning, sipping Cappuccino, and listening to this.
I’ve been trying to remember this song for over 30 years now In Jamaica as a kid they would play it on the radio and could never get it out of my head. I never gave up looking for this song, besides having such a challenging year this is a true blessing...
This is the sound of being in the back seat of my family’s 1981 Volvo, going on a road trip somewhere. I hated this smooth jazz stuff as a kid, and now the intense nostalgia brings me to tears.

Summer of 1979 kid of 13 spent my summer in the golden beaches of West Cork Ireland sunny days and one of the classics from that summer chill out sounds of SPYRO GYRA "Morning Dance" years later got to see them @ CORK Jazz Festival 2019 brought back those carefree memories of '79 classic 😎✌️👍.😊
drove my neighbors crazy in my first apartment trying to learn to play this song by ear. over and over on a 200 dollar stereo out of a pawnshop and my alto from high school. pushin 60 now. can play those licks.
I had the honor of seeing Spyro Gyra perform in concert many years ago in Memphis, TN, along with David Sanborn!! One of the best shows ever!! Great memories I will cherish forever!!
I just happened to come across this today, and I've transported back 45 years ago when I was first introduced to this incredible band. Thank you for taking me back❤
Got married young. My kids had an eclectic playlist lol. This often started our early morning. So did Led Zepplin Herbie Hancock George Benson. What an era for music.
Sweetness Overload,pure happy feel good vibes,gets your day jump started,and especially on a Monday morning..It's one of my top fave Spyrogyra 🎵 ❤❤❤ Big thanks for all the lovely feel good happy songs you have given us throughout the years 💐 💐 💐 👍 👍
I had the privilege of seeing them live in London Crystal Palace...jazz festival. Along with Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters... I took my dad and uncle to watch his personal favourite Chuck Berry... It was a fantastic day.... both my dad and uncle have since long passed away...but whenever I hear this track ... I am instantly transported to that beautiful day in 1979... one love ... one mother earth 🌍❤️ blessings to you all... If music be the food of love... play on....
I was in college when this came out. Some dorm friends and I would crank this up and "air" play the various solo parts and dance around. One of my fondest memories of college.
@@Uplifttherace And why wouldn't it. It was recorded in analog. Remaster it in any format you choose and along as it's played note for note it's still "Morning dance".
Yeah, exactly. life was great back then before the globalists sold our Country out by outsourcing our Mfg base. It's a hollow remnant of what it once was.
This song converted me to Jazz at age 12 in 1979 and I've never looked back since. You can listen to every instrument in isolation and enjoy it. Today, all the instruments play the same beat and you get bored after listening to it once. You can never get bored listening to this 20X a day. Just brilliant.
"Morning Dance" has always been my favorite Spyro Gyra song...I loved cruising on Lake Tahoe on a sailboat and listening to this and "It doesn't matter"! So smooth & relaxing...it doesn't get any better!
MORE ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL JAZZ MUSIC! MAY IT NEVER END! I used to have all these great jazz and R&B albums mixed in with some great rock and roll and folk. Nothing better!!! THERE'S ALWAYS A PLACE FOR THIS TYPE OF MUSIC IN OUR CULTURE!
This is the song that did it for me back in 1982. After hearing it, I became a Spyro Gyra fan, and a jazz fan for life. Since that year, 1982, when I started college, jazz is all I listen to and I enjoy every second of it. My all time jazz songs are On the Stairs by Pat Martino and I'm Late, I'm Late by Stan Getz. I've seen Spyro Gyra live three times and loved it.
I bought this album on it's first release, and it has stayed with me ever since...this track is our Wedding playlist from 2011, I play the whole playlist regularly 😍🎶
The song that really opened my ears to Jazz. Oh the memories this one brings back, Thanks for posting this Gem! This song would relax me and put me in a festive mood back in the 80's better than almost anything at the time and that's saying a lot for one of the best times in the world for music, the 70's and 80's!
"Morning Dance" by Spyro Gyra was the first used CD I bought at an indie music store called Hungry Ear in the 1980's. The bright and lively music on this CD set me on a path to new and used music CDs at indie music stores and Syro Gyra fandom.;)
I remember hearing this when my mom would be up early cleaning and cooking breakfast, I would lay in bed and wiggle my feet to the music and Bob my head, and thinking time to get up.... she's going to play earth, wind, & fire next.!!
Darron Lundy your lovely comment made me laugh n cry at the same time, especially when you said your mum will play earth wind & fire next, what happy memories you must have, at 56 now this was back in my era.
Yes, same sort of memories...I was 22 & living in London UK when this came out in 1979...went out straight out and got the LP in the summer of 1979. My parents also LOVED this tune. Great memories of not having a care in the world.
brilliant darron i have a similar memories but mine was waking up to go to work at 6 am the sun was shinning through my bedroom window and this came on the radio just as my mother who knew i had to get up early for work came in with a nice cup of tea ,perfect a great tune !
Morning dance was part of my soundtrack when I escaped West Texas and tapped into the hip scenes in Santa Fe, Albuquerque and then wonderful Tucson with a busty, green-eyed longhaired beauty who became my wife.
Nice to know nice people still around to enjoy nice music like these...growing up and maturing...but some things just never change...great music, great vibes...
I was about 23 when Morning Dance was first released. I had the album. I haven’t thought about this recording in years. I am now 67 years old, recovering from a recent hip replacement. Thinking about listening to something that will cheer me up in the morning. Morning Dance flashed through my mind. It still works as an inspirational pick me up. Thank you for posting.
Such a Dreamy, Soulful, melt in the mouth track!!!! It doesn't get better than this!!!! What an outstanding Choooonn!!!! Totally Iconic!!!! It puts a smile on your face and dance moves in your soul!!!! A SMOOTH GROOVE Wonder!!!!!
"...Here is your local weather forecast on the 8's......sunny, with a chance of showers mid afternoon....high 81 degrees...winds out of the south 5 miles an hour...."
Fun Fact: The album Morning Dance went gold the same year it was released. Eight years later, it was certified platinum. This LP has some legs! Over forty years after it was released, people are still enraptured by its sound.
I helped it go gold! I bought this album as soon as I heard it back in '79 ( thank you, WRVR, in NYC back in the day!) I memorized every solo and riff, and can still play the sax solo...loved this groove from the get go!
Back here again nearly a year later definitely needing a lift in spirits hopefully there's light at the end of the tunnel roll on 2021 thinking of the people less fortunate than myself
My grandfather used to listen to this I was told and he was a big jazz fan so am I i never got a chance to meet him but one day I will have the chance to sit up in heaven with him in a jazz club and just talk all night long!!!
The sound of Jay Beckenstein blowing that alto sax is mind blowing on this track, along with Rubins Bassini on congas & percussion, David Samuels on steel drum, an instrument you rarely hear in modern musc, to give it that Carribean flavour, what a brew, there you have it, one of the biggest sellers of 1979 from the Morning Dance album & it wasnt a Disco track either
J Eshun Your comment made me listen to it to the end and you are 100% correct. They played with such ease, never over playing. Jay grew up in my area, but I never knew him before he made it. Whenever I did go see them back in the day, family and friends he gathered with, so I did not interrupt. But he seemed like a nice guy.
Ha, I'm here because I got a bunch of old records from my dad a few years back,he found them in a storage unit. I don't have a record player so I'm staring at this vinyl on the wall in my garage area where I spend most of my time thinking"I can't remember if I ever played that one" back when I had a way to play the vinyl. Nothing like the sound of a vinyl you just can't replicate it
From 1988 to 1994, I use to host the Sunday Morning Show on WCGO, 1600 AM, In South Chicago Heights, Illinois, and this was my show theme. Such a great song and such great memories.

Brilliant sax
I love Spyro Gyra Group since 1.979. 🎷BRZ🇧🇷
No matter what is going on in my life, when I hear this song I instantly smile and my mood improves by a zillion percent.
Used to have this as a ring tone many, many phones ago
So true

The name of the artist is clearly said in and on this video...... but I do agree with the rest of what you just said.
@@TD010, he was referring to UA-cam in his comment, not the artist.
UA-cam was created by Steve Chen, Chad Hurley, and Jawed Karim. They were working for PayPal at the time. They sold it to Google in 2006. It was originally created as a dating site.
@@Beauty-and-the-Dia-betes Thanks for the reply and information.
Aw, it was nothing. But you’re very welcome.
How can you NOT instantly feel so much better whenever you hear this classic?!!
Takes me to another place....🎸💃🕺🎸
I swearrrrrr this song is the best thing that happened in my life
Did anyone screwed yo life
It really is a great "pick me up" song
It's beautiful in the morning, like "breezing" by George benson
A classic of the 70's.
Among The Classics of the 70,s!!!
I picture Myself living in a Beach Condo with a Balcony overlooking the Ocean, wearing a flowing Robe, in the Early Saturday Morning, sipping Cappuccino, and listening to this.
Yesss!
Love it !
Splendid!
Why not
Right on MsK, would that be the canned cappucino of the day?
You nailed it!
This takes me back
I’ve been trying to remember this song for over 30 years now
In Jamaica as a kid they would play it on the radio and could never get it out of my head. I never gave up looking for this song, besides having such a challenging year this is a true blessing...
#JamaicanPeopleAreCool
I was saying the same thing 🇯🇲 then I saw your comment
@Ruth Collins reminds me of my italian girlfriend - without clothes - most of the time
Sound track of my youth
The evening peoples show
It’s been over 30 years since I’ve heard this. It’s amazing how your brain doesn’t forget a single note or rhythm when it comes to groovy music.
I was thinking the same thing....
Same here.
And me, just said the same thing to me missus then saw your comment , spooky
Hendrix believed music had a profound effect on people. Even healing.
UA-cam is only the place where we get childhood memories of musics that we get to listen and remembrance of old memories coming back.
This is the sound of being in the back seat of my family’s 1981 Volvo, going on a road trip somewhere. I hated this smooth jazz stuff as a kid, and now the intense nostalgia brings me to tears.
Soul Family on the rise to the top 😊😊
Nice comment . I get you Nathan .
Special memories, my brother and I listened to this tune every morning sometime back in the 70's. Thanks bro!

Soothing to your soul hearing this Morning Dance by Spyro Gyra, really miss the jazz music in the 80’s.
This came out in 1979.

My young married days with little kids and the contemporary jazz FM station. Life was straight forward and simple then. Miss those days.
Enjoy the kids and the music. It will all return. I have a grandchild the beauty and the music. It has returned
The only constant is change...unfortunately
IT´S VERY LEGAL
@@tjsboywonder Not always for the better...

I start my day with this track
drove my neighbors crazy in my first apartment trying to learn to play this song by ear. over and over on a 200 dollar stereo out of a pawnshop and my alto from high school. pushin 60 now. can play those licks.
I remember you
Hard work and dedication.
I had a Bundy,1984.
I need to start playing again
Two hundred dollars was a lot of money back then, I hear ya, 🤘
This song immediately takes me back to my childhood in Jamaica. Hearing it on a radio program daily after school. Thank you for the nostalgia
41 years ago when this came out.... still listening and will continue to
IM with u K J, This makes the day a little sweeter.
Haha, they had Roberto Vally, and lost him. By far the greatest musician this band ever had.
1979, great times.
David Ramirez The last gasp of cool, 1979.
Good music
I had the honor of seeing Spyro Gyra perform in concert many years ago in Memphis, TN, along with David Sanborn!! One of the best shows ever!! Great memories I will cherish forever!!
One of the many admirable fusion jazz legends of the era..... still ever green..... Papua New Guinean.....
I just happened to come across this today, and I've transported back 45 years ago when I was first introduced to this incredible band. Thank you for taking me back❤
Got married young. My kids had an eclectic playlist lol. This often started our early morning.
So did Led Zepplin Herbie Hancock George Benson. What an era for music.

Was there also met Lee Ritenour and Ernie Watts also a great final set by Willie Bobo .
I worked in a factory make vinyl hand bags back in the late seventies when this song would play on my boombox- public radio -FM.
Spyro Gyra's music will live on, will never fade away for those who grew up with it, Simply enjoyable
I had this in old fashioned cassette form, it took me awhile to realize every track was brilliant.
Timeless and brilliant. What an absolute treat.
Of ur still listening 2021. Ur a legend ❤️
August 1979! Never forget it! Great player!
I was in college when this came out. Some dorm friends and I would crank this up and "air" play the various solo parts and dance around. One of my fondest memories of college.
Remember hearing this track when it was released, still sounds great
This is such a great groove. Still sounds good in 2020
Sounds even better in 2022.
Yes…Agreed! 2022 is even better!!!🤣👍🏾
@@Uplifttherace And why wouldn't it. It was recorded in analog. Remaster it in any format you choose and along as it's played note for note it's still "Morning dance".
Yes it does.
@@Uplifttherace disagree...sounds better in 2023!
I grew up listening to this...so soothing and calm. Just pure beautiful music.
at 86, i'm still growing up, listening.
I was 14 when I first heard this song. Got it on 7 inch record stored at my mums
I heard this when I was 14 still haunts me.
Where do you reside
Where do you reside
One of the best tunes from Spyro Gyra!
It is certainly a happy morning song.
This reminds me of riding in my car in the 80's and feeling free.
+Paloma Bossa your WERE free :)

Yeah, exactly. life was great back then before the globalists sold our Country out by outsourcing our Mfg base. It's a hollow remnant of what it once was.
The good ole days of the 80's!
Same here!
Why haven't I have ever heard of this song before and now I am just hearing this for the first time. This is truly a beautiful song.
🌬️💨😇🤗💫📀****A CLASSIC HIT BY SPYRO GYRA****VERY NICE JAZZY~JAZZ, SMOOTH, VERY CALM💫📀🤗☺️😊🌝✌️
What a great song and the sax absolutely kicks ass!!
Just sent it my girlfriend- she's ten years my senior- I'm 57- she'll love to hear it again!!
This song reminds me of my late friend’s favorite. I’m sure you are having a great time with the Lord above. Cheers Jing P.
so this is where Fergie ripped off her 'Paradise'
Brings me back to my senior year of high school. Love this! Great days. Beach, beer and frisbee.
2024 checking in and still loving it.
Absolutely love this song particularly the saxophone. A real hidden gem.
I agree sir top quality.
This song converted me to Jazz at age 12 in 1979 and I've never looked back since. You can listen to every instrument in isolation and enjoy it. Today, all the instruments play the same beat and you get bored after listening to it once. You can never get bored listening to this 20X a day. Just brilliant.

Hear you...
"Morning Dance" has always been my favorite Spyro Gyra song...I loved cruising on Lake Tahoe on a sailboat and listening to this and "It doesn't matter"! So smooth & relaxing...it doesn't get any better!
My friends and I used to do the same on Kauai. Smoking weed and cruising. Life was good. 🌴🌞🎶
You guys sound like my Senior high Ecology teacher.
🎉In Cali, we had 94.7 The Wave, $mooth Jazz. Thankfully their D.J.s kept $pyro Gyra in rotation! Godspeed my virtual brothers and sisters worldwide.
I worked on this record at Infinity / MCA back in the late 70s. Makes me feel good to see the pleasure that it’s Brought to so many.
this song is like life should be,,,,,,,, easy and relaxed. Nothing better to start the day. .
This was the theme for a detroit morning show. Got me hooked on jazz
This was one of my favourite bands, a spirit riser
Always a favorite! I still enjoy listening to this song. Full of wonderful memories.
Morning Dance, on a Sunday morning....priceless! 😊
MORE ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL JAZZ MUSIC! MAY IT NEVER END! I used to have all these great jazz and R&B albums mixed in with some great rock and roll and folk. Nothing better!!! THERE'S ALWAYS A PLACE FOR THIS TYPE OF MUSIC IN OUR CULTURE!
My 8 year old son says it makes him feel like he's on a beach.
Yeah kind of Caribbean feel
This is what I listen to going to the beach...
Oh yes. I am certain that most songs featuring the steel drum have that very same : 'Ahhhhhhh, the beach mon!!'
LOL
Your 8 year old son is correct.
Oh my!!! your son is right!!! We played in our Easter vacations, at the beach!!! Viva la vida!!!!❤️
Love the Steel Pan in this music. This is the spirit of Trinidad, limeing on Maracas beach sipping on some vat19 rum, just enjoying the sean and sun.
you got the Maracas Bay right also the shark and bake and a cola Carib.
This is the song that did it for me back in 1982. After hearing it, I became a Spyro Gyra fan, and a jazz fan for life.

I've seen Spyro Gyra live three times and loved it.
i still remember that was the same yr i became to like Spyro Gyra, Chuck Mangione, Earl Klugh.and now i feel 20 again...feel songood
Same here. I bought every album thereafter.
I'm only 53 but it's hard to believe that was 35 long years ago.
No, I mean one of the greatest guitarists of all time - Pat Martino.
Yeah, back in '77 it was listening to Spyro Gyra that I progressed to John Coltrane
Yes, yes, yes!
I bought this album on it's first release, and it has stayed with me ever since...this track is our Wedding playlist from 2011, I play the whole playlist regularly 😍🎶
So beautiful... makes me feel young again. I loved those years in the music business. And the modulation lifts the heart on a soft breeze. Wonderful

This song makes one think that they are on a beach ⛱️ sipping a cocktail 🍸 👌 😎
A very summery tune
Released back in early '79
March 1979
Morning dance was part of my soundtrack when I escaped West Texas and tapped into the hip scenes in Santa Fe, Albuquerque and then wonderful Tucson with a busty, green-eyed longhaired beauty who became my wife.
Nice to know nice people still around to enjoy nice music like these...growing up and maturing...but some things just never change...great music, great vibes...

Yes!
local band from near my home town, grew up in my teens going to their concerts, now 66 yrs old and it still sweet soulful and very upbeat...love it!
A big hit from the jazz explosion of the late '70's.
What a song to take on the day with! This puts you upbeat, strutting and in charge. Loved this song for years for just those reasons.
!
Fantastic saxophone - this number brings back so many happy memories.
Talk about 'Feel good factor' or what!!
Love the saxophone too
Fun Fact: The album Morning Dance went gold the same year it was released. Eight years later, it was certified platinum.
This LP has some legs! Over forty years after it was released, people are still enraptured by its sound.
Timelessly beautiful music!
Hello how are you doing hope you are doing well how is the weather over there you Really look so nice on your profile🌹🌹🌹
I helped it go gold! I bought this album as soon as I heard it back in '79 ( thank you, WRVR, in NYC back in the day!) I memorized every solo and riff, and can still play the sax solo...loved this groove from the get go!
thanks for the fun fact, it's not surprising though, judging from all the pleasant notes it hits, with just the right instruments
Can’t imagine why ! One of the best music artists ever. Totally agree with you
I have the LP and i often play it...at full mfkn volume as it deserves hearing
Nice as I heard this in many years
Listening to this song makes me cry, oh the memories of playing this with my friend on my record player...
Biggums Of 9001 cool
Biggums Of 9001 I love your profic pic
Smile
Happy tears hopefully.
Wet and windy day end of January needing something to lift me certainly hits the spot back to younger days happy memories
Back here again nearly a year later definitely needing a lift in spirits hopefully there's light at the end of the tunnel roll on 2021 thinking of the people less fortunate than myself
Another year is there light at the end of this horrific tunnel hoping and praying transported back to much happier times
My grandfather used to listen to this I was told and he was a big jazz fan so am I i never got a chance to meet him but one day I will have the chance to sit up in heaven with him in a jazz club and just talk all night long!!!
So beautiful, like a wonderful forest in the warm rain. Like a life lived in beauty.
Happy memories 😊
The sound of Jay Beckenstein blowing that alto sax is mind blowing on this track, along with Rubins Bassini on congas & percussion, David Samuels on steel drum, an instrument you rarely hear in modern musc, to give it that Carribean flavour, what a brew, there you have it, one of the biggest sellers of 1979 from the Morning Dance album & it wasnt a Disco track either
J Eshun Great comment. It was a great brew of personnel!
Thankyou Speedrcer
speedrcer1 this is still a great tune to listen too after all these yrs
J Eshun Your comment made me listen to it to the end and you are 100% correct. They played with such ease, never over playing. Jay grew up in my area, but I never knew him before he made it. Whenever I did go see them back in the day, family and friends he gathered with, so I did not interrupt. But he seemed like a nice guy.
J Eshun I was just telling my son that this was a crossover hit and played regularly on the radio. Great song!!
Classic song, always makes me think of summertime no matter when during the year I hear it playing.
From back when jazz was positive and upbeat and just meant to get you movin' to the groove--where did music like this go, because I want it back??!!
morning dance is life, we need more songs like this
Ha, I'm here because I got a bunch of old records from my dad a few years back,he found them in a storage unit. I don't have a record player so I'm staring at this vinyl on the wall in my garage area where I spend most of my time thinking"I can't remember if I ever played that one" back when I had a way to play the vinyl. Nothing like the sound of a vinyl you just can't replicate it
Who can sit still when this beauty is playing?? Thanks guys for awesome music.
From 1988 to 1994, I use to host the Sunday Morning Show on WCGO, 1600 AM, In South Chicago Heights, Illinois, and this was my show theme. Such a great song and such great memories.
It was a show theme on WBEN AM 930 in Buffalo, and the station also used the instrumental portion of Gino Vannelli's "People Gotta Move"
And I used it on my BBC programme from 2001 - great way to start 3 hours on an upbeat note
Just Plain Jimmy very cool! I’ll bet the memories are priceless.
@@powelltothepeople3740 are you peter ?
Just Plain Jimmy I’m from Chicago bro !! This music so soothing and fresh, It just makes you feel good all the way around.
I CAN STILL REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME I HEARD YOUR MUSIC... Awesome
Saudades da antiga radio Eldorado de SP, tocava essas perolas!!
