    I am freaking out! Sheila E was playing w/ George Duke when I was 6 years old? That means I was in love with a old ass lady when Glamorous Life came out? OMG...She can be my sugar mama lol

    Man, Byron is on fire here! I usually don't dig him much (sorry), but wow...! o.O
    And I didn't know Ricky Lawson had played drums for George Duke. What a band!

    God!! How I miss this kind of music and of course George RIP. This was a unique band, singers musicians, everything. Just fantastic. And it shows what multiple singers does do music. Today there is only one singer who does background vox and everything which is one of the reasons it's so boring today.

    Such fun and loose funk. There is some P Funk elements, but it's even less structured. Not a bad thing. :) Once Sheila gets among the backing vocals, that becomes what might be the best looking backing vocalists section ever. Man

    Excellent! Thanks for uploading! Two tracks from one of George's best albums, "Follow the Rainbow" with (of course) "Reach For It" from the album of the same name. What's the last song? It isn't on any of the albums I have or know.

    This was made 6 years before I was born yet this music absolutely speaks to me! I think it may be because truly everyone in the band is a virtuoso in their instrument. I can only hope that no asshole SJW false flags this video for being sexist. Sometimes I am so ashamed of my generation
