My fiancé & I had the pleasure to see Lonnie Liston Smith, Roy Ayers, Tom Browne, Ronnie Laws in Detroit MI July 19,2017 @ Chene Park before Aretha Franklin Park What a beautiful concert to celebrate our 15th Anniversary together ❤️ our wonderful blessings during that time.🙏😇🎹🎤🎼🎶🎉
Thank you WJZZ of Detroit for introducing this amazing music and gifted musician Lonnie Liston Smith to me back in the 70's...this music is just as hypnotic and beautiful today!
I saw LLS back in the early 80's. He was with Roy "Everybody Loves the Sunshine" Ayers and Tom "Funkin for Jamaica" Browne. They all played together, it was a good show.
I am so thankful for stations such as WJZZ, a jazz station in Detroit, for exposing me to artist like Lonnie Liston Smith. Thanks for posting this song. It is definitely a masterpiece!
So happy there is another great peep from the D here that remembers Detroit, WJZZ and the NPR Detroit [broadcasted across most of the Midwest and I believe all of CANADA... because it was the best NPR city source in the USA... had some excellent DJs in the midnight hour on Fridays/Saturdays - playing the best, mostly unknown, fusion jazz...
one of my all time favorite smooth jazz artiste MR. LONNIE LISTON SMITH. Been listening to his beautiful music since back in the 70's. A very, very deep brother who's extremely talented. They just don't come like this anymore and so we have to treasure & enjoy them whilst they are around to create their mastery of the art form.................keep on keeping on LLS
Had some mushroom soup and jumped into my 1970 British Leyland Spitfire and was driving on the Southern State Pkwy in 76 for hours....and played Space Lady and more of Lonnie's music/ Mind blowing experince.
Renaissance , the high life , all the finer things a cultured eye to collect beautiful things and make exotic memories a journey through time when everything was fine , a theme song worthy of such bliss 🎼🎷
Its been since the 70's that I've heard this and I forgot where I got my Cosmicness from, thanks for bringing this part of my soul full circle, I was a teen when I first heard this and it brings back memories of mental and auditory trips of wonder fueled by this, the hippest of music, my poetry is powered by this music, its like I've woken up from a long sleep, thanks from the bottom of my heart, Tianyvu, the Bringer of light, and may peace be with you all.
Brian, just wanted you to know that I asked my friends "where did they get their Cosmicness from". I wasn't there, but I was told that it ended up being an all nite conversation!
Honestly, one of his BEST tracks! And considering how long the catalog is and me thinking of myself as one of his BIGGEST FANS!! The groove is unmatched on this one.... and the ENDING!!! OMG!! He's a genius!
LONNIE LISTON SMITH (p), Donald Smith (fl), David Hubbard (t sax), Leon Pendarvis (clav), Ken Bichel (synth), Al Anderson (b), Wilby Fletcher (d), Lawrence Killian (conga), Guilherme Franco (perc) and strings in 1976.
True. I have a question, could You, please, clarify. Two of many thousands musicians are in a class by themselves. Compared to the class of This guy and miles Davies, where are: - dj krush, dj shadow, dj craze, or dj premier - The Beastie Boys - JB - Beth Gibbons - Mick Harris - Charles Mingus - May Thornton - Mat Thornton - Trent Reznor - Aaron Spears ? Thanks in advance.
I just realised the reflection of his glasses in the painting is of a room with windows, yet the background is of mountainous scenery.........it get's deeper!
Zackie Dynamo Zack if I may comment sir Way back in 1979 I waz listening too these old classics & yer right LAWDY Mz.Clawdy that flute is fonkier dan 9 canz uhh shaving powdah!
@porkfriedricer I heard it and automatically jumped up and shouted 'ITS THE RETURN OF FOREVER HOE!'..... My mum threw the remote to the back of my head so swiftly after those words left my lips, lol!
Miami.. Friday night.. it's 11:22pm..rain has made the air cool and wet. Night creatures chirp trippel beer fills my gut.. I'm full.. Full of love for the air... And the wind.. And the fear.... Of nothing. Night moth... Nothing compares to the night when it comes to your feedings. Pollen ridden flowers..a path to nectar... Of our God.
I recognise part of that guitar riff at the beginning from a track by LTJ Bukem. Cant remember what the track is called though! *EDIT* actually it was a track by JMJ & Ritchie - Free La Funk, which I knew from an old LTJ Bukem set I always listened to on my discman in high school ;)
Driving Downtown MTL with this. Pedestrian crossing the street looks that guy in a big black cadillac dress like the Mack Daddy. City of jazz

Better with that RIF Mountain concoction!!!!
@@trappenweisseguy27 Turned my brother-in-law on to Skylab...he's been smokin' steadily since 1981
...I used to listen to this in the car on the way to gigs. I might have to revive that practice.
LLS ushered in a new generation of 70's porn music...often imitated, never duplicated.
Mega, i have all on Vinyl, he signed them all :-) one of the best
Miami.. Friday night.. it's 11:22pm..rain has made the air cool and wet. Night creatures chirp trippel beer fills my gut.. I'm full.. Full of love for the air... And the wind.. And the fear....

its the return of 4 eva ho!
TimTharealdeal Harris pimp tight worlwideeee
I never thought 4 eva would eva come back! Never die! Never die!
TimTharealdeal Harris what is that
its a song by Big K.R.I.T. who's a rapper/produced who sample this beat for his song ''return of 4eva''
I'm about to throw this phone
so many samples
lol....was thinking the same
President Zen Master Phil 11 Rings Jackson Caron Wheeler's Blue(Is The Colour of Pain)
I thought UGK used it, but K.RI.T. used this on one of his classic intros
I was thinking the same,
@@HyyerCo It was sampled throughout The Return of 4eva
Another one of my favs from WCSU-FM- 88.9
youtube is unironically better at recommendations than spotify
Listen to this in Vegas man.
