from CHARIOTS OF FIRE

[@JB-rd1sr]

Ernie Watts, Tania Maria, Minnie Riperton, Bob James, Al Jarreau, Michael Franks, SpiroGyra, and the list go on and on. But this is a Masterpiece ageless

This is the only version of this tune I know since I first heard it when I was in radio back in the 80's. And I think Ernie was part of the Tonight Show band with Doc, Johnny, and the rest of the gang.

Got to play this with Odell Brown and the Organizers in Chicago mid 70's. He did a great cover too.

Written by Donny Hathaway. The saxophonist Ernie Watts done a nice remake of that tune. Even after the guitarist George Benson covered Donny Hathaway's "Valdez In The Country".
