- "Rise" is a song written by Andy Armer and Randy Badazz Alpert, and first recorded by trumpeter Herb Alpert. The instrumental track was included on Alpert's solo album Rise and released as a single in 1979. It reached number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in October of that year and remained in the top position for two weeks. Herb Alpert thus became the first (and only) artist to reach the top of the Hot 100 with a vocal performance ("This Guy's in Love with You", 1968) as well as an instrumental performance. "Rise" also spent one week atop the adult contemporary chart. "Rise" was successful on the other charts: It peaked at number four on the soul chart, and number seventeen on the disco chart.The recording also received a Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance.

The most favorite memory of my mother was when my mother, my sisters, and myself were dancing to this song back in the summer of 79. For the first five years of my life my mother was a drug addict, and she had a bad overdose that year. The county almost took us away from her, and the only way she could get us back was if she got clean. She came home, and we turned on the radio...She heard this song, grabbed us, and started dancing. That was the happiest I ever saw her, and there were few times she was happy, but she was so glad to be with us. My mother stayed clean for us, and she never used again. But this song will always be special
God bless you all. Great story!
Mike Chambers thank you!
PAISLEY PRINCESS it’s fab! Xxx
Thank you for being vulnerable enough to share!
PAISLEY PRINCESS That is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing your memories. We all need to hear that love does conquer all.
Back in 1980 I put on this song for my 85-year old grandmother, who was raised on a farm in Czechoslovakia. Didn't speak much English, and never listened to music. When the intro started, she perked up and proclaimed, "It makes me want to dance." So, we did!
Thanks, Mr. Alpert.
That is a great memory!

Dear T B, If your grandmother is still around, cherish her. Nobody loves you more than she does.
False propaganda
@@kevinenriquez688 If it's false propaganda, does that mean it's true? (scratching head)
Ticho !
if you are listening in 2024 - you just levelled up - FEEL it
We didn’t know it then.music that brought everyone together. Simpler, more organic times. Great memories made.

"Rise"! I feel helluva better when I hear this. I'm 68 and having beautiful flashbacks, seriously lol. Love this ballad from Herb and the Brass

I got sick with cancer, n my daughter whom isn't here anymore, would play this song for me n tell me I was a strong woman n to rise. But sadly she too got cancer 5 years after me.

I m listening this jewel music of Herp Alpert in August 2024🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Saw Herb Alpert in concert last week in Austin--he's 80 and still rocking that trumpet, a national treasure!
Wiki said he's 87
Get out really? We saw Buddy Guy at legends in Chicago in early 2020. He was 83 and still rowdy as can be.
Amazing
Did he play this tune?
God bless him. He's eternal and will live 43v3r in our hearts and ears and smooth skin and relatable just by sound, what a genius, what a pro!! A++ aplusplus winwin double win win²
My husband loved this music. He pass away 3 years ago. Loving your memory my love enjoying this music. RIP Ignacio. From Mexico.
Venga! Arriba ese ánimo Elo! Te mando un abrazo!!!
So sorry for your loss.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hermoso recuerdo , q.e.p.d 🙏🏻❤️
I am sorry for your loss. I am glad memories of this beautiful music remind you of him. I am that way with my Amy. Peace
This is my favorite notorious big sample. Without hypnotized I would have never found the absolute masterpiece
Biggie knew to only sample the best of the best.
Agree!
I agree
I was trying to remember where I heard that sample.
I looked it up after hearing Hypnotized as well.
I'm a retired police officer and detective.....I remember this song playing on a simple AM radio station in northern New Mexico for a young boy on the Reservation...who later served as a Marine, a police officer/detective and a law abiding citizen of our awesome country of America. Blessings on your eyes, blessings your children and blessings the ground you walk on.
I was 14 when listening to this song. I always saw my late dad dance to this song while he was working. Now i'm 57,Im now getting the vibe. The truth is, music never gets old.
Your dad had good taste
I was 17 and on my to USMC boot camp.
My mother and father danced to this every Sunday morning
Very true this. I'm 59 and I love the songs from the 60's 70's. Real music 💯
Wow that's a beautiful memory man, let's pay homage to your Father he introduced you to a good song👊👊❤️❤️!!
If you are listening to this in #2020, you have class in music. Give yourself a pat on the back.
Right back atcha, Big Double B.! Peace.
My oh my, Didn't he refine the sounds.
Good times
My neighbor would joke about how this was the unofficial anthem of black people! (and I think Herb Alpert is Jewish)
@@NBUltra187 hahahahahaha..... truth.
I was lucky enough to be around when Rise came out and even luckier to still be here to enjoy it in 2020. Great piece.
Or not so lucky. Wouldn’t you rather be young?
I saw Herb live doing Rise, back in the day. Excellent concert!
Did it come out in 79?
@@nycgirl780 - Yes. The summer of 79.
I hear in January, 1980.First place Billboard.Here in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.Master piece.12/1/2021.
It's 2024 and I'm still listening to this masterpiece ❤ and mind you I'm only 23 years old
Cuz it's classic. And u got good taste
Yeeeeeesssss🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
Its a gem
Good job Joel.
I'm so happy to hear it🎉enjoy
That bassline is an unstoppable force of nature. Especially in the ending section of the song.
Biggie biggie can't you see hahahaha.... awesome music
@@reyesboys4 you got it !!
Abraham Laboriel ... Most popular and holy funkiness of the era, and still has it in spades to this day! #Hallelujah
Louis Johnson was also the bass player on this album
100percent
This music takes back to a better time.
One of the best instrumental of all times, period....
This and rumble by Link Wray are still influential after all these years. True art is immortal!!
Two of the most important and influential and.....the best instrumentals ever laid down.
This song is Beutiful!
Accurate
The bass player is killing it
Man.... nothing but smooth jazz..flows like water
love smooth jazz, and my doo-wop of course.
Herb Alpert forever and ever from Ipiales Nariño Colombia América Latina
It doesn't matter if was 1980, 2080 and beyond...this song will always stand the test of time it's THAT good!!
Hello Cheyenne, how are things going with you?
Best ever music gets me through life...
Amen
Real but 2080 seems like a long time from now
Herp Alpert forever and ever since Ipiales Nariño Colombia América Latina 😢😢😅😅
This was a song that my mom Loved! She had an Aneurysm rupture in her brain in 1979 I was 14. It took months for me to be able to listen to this song. By the grace of god she survived for another 33 yrs. Paralyzed and limited communication. I sure do miss her she would dance and was out familia's best cook! I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU MOM YESTERDAY TODAY AND TOMORROW
Hugs!
wow - I'm glad she survived in '79, though had some tough times but I'm sure you made it better for her....
:(
God Bless!
Condolences to you and prayers
This is what this generation needs
FACTS!!!!!
No doubt i never appreciated music like this till now in my 30s
Yeahhhhhh This Generation Needs Great Music
Yeeees
@@betoevoxgsr Im a 70s teen I have HEARD TONS AND TONS OF THE BEST ROCK COUNTRY JAZZ SOUL , YOU NAME IT THE 70s where OUT standing
I just found this gem by chance and I’m absolutely blown away that this is where “Hypnotize” originated from. That drop at 3:23 is instantly recognizable and this has got to be the original
Yes it actually is, he just loop that actual part and decrease the speed, loop a bar, and add an effect
Yes sir. I recalled that Biggie rap sampling this song.
💯 i did a double take when i heard that 😅 had to explain it to my husband
Good sample
Same! I was just listening to this... I'm sure I've heard it before and never paid attention, but when THAT riff came through... I knew instantly. Solid. Gold.
Herb Herb Herb, can't you see, sometimes your music just hypnotize me.
Well that part would be from la di la di
I can listen to him all day and night. Dancing to his awesome music 🎶. The 2 step with the one you love 💕.
@@valenciablack5420 I don’t really think you know what he’s referring to he’s talking about hypnotise by biggie smalls that sampled this song so yh
😂😂😂 Biggie snatched that gold quick.
@@dinasmith2613 Biggie rode it well tho👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
It is simply amazing on how a song that produced over 40 years ago can sound fresh and uplifting in these dark days we're all experiencing.Still love this song since it came out!!
You are so right Ken! True talent never gets old !!
I’m with ya brother!
They're not dark days for me everything's fine I'm retired and don't have to put up with everyone anymore on the job
amen Ken I cant get enough of it im 73
Yes Ken, quite true. It has that 80s beat, very progressive at the time but with the horn. With that element, it then appealed to such a wide variety of people from different generations I think.
Yes! It's 2021. This man is such an outstanding talent. Notorious B.I.G sampled Mr. Alperts music from "RISE" and created one of his biggest hits in the rap genre.
Also heard it in one if the "Blue" songs
Yes he did. And kinda brought it back to life. At least it did for me.
Herb's nephew composed that song, and was responsible for shaping the sampled guitar chord.
@@nathanwatson1915 Really?? Wow, l never knew that, Thank you Sir!! I love,, love,, love,, learning new or little known facts about artists and the story behind their 🎵. l am a wanna be music trivia Queen, Rise is a modern day masterpiece.🎺
You must be talking of hypnotize.
I AM FROM EL SALVADOR , LIVING IN BOSTON MASS SINCE LATE 90'S , WHEN I WAS A KID MY FATHER USED TO TAKE ME TO HIS OLD (SENIOR) BARBER GUY FOR M 6 MONTHS CUT AFTER MY 1 BDAY , AND THERE I LEARNED HOW TO LOVE THE MUSIC OF THIS GREAT PERFORMER, NOW ALL I REMEMBER IS THE OLD GLORIOUS TIMES I LOVED AND I FEAR THEY'LL NEVER BE BACK . WORSE OF ALL IS THE NEW GENERATIONS WILL NEVER APPRECIATE SUCH SENSATIONS.
My father is dying of stage 4 lung cancer. Since I was a child he and my mother loved this song! Now I'm 48 and we still just yesterday got an opportunity to kick back and listen to our song!!! 💕💕💕
I can kind of relate. My late mother loved this song. I cry every single time I hear it no matter where I am.

AMEN AMEN AMEN!!!!!!!!!
Me too, nothing moves my emotions, and stimulates memories like great timeless music. ❤
Amen
This song takes me back in time and it still sounds fantastic here in 2023!! Great trumpet, piano and smokin’ hot bass playing!!!
Herb Alpert’s Rise and Chuck Mangione’s Feel So Good. Excellent!!
Two excellent choices. I would offer Mangione's Bellavia for consideration in your short list.
2of my favourite instrumentals
You nailed it! Love them both, im 48.. Play them almost everyday!💖💖💖
and George Benson Breezin
Wowwww!!!
I thought I was the best around,but Ron Ron, in my old audio cassette side A I have Chuck Mangione's Feel so Good followed by Herb Alpert's rise and You, Mike Patrick Side B I also have George Benson's Breezin and Barry White's (Love unlimited orchestra ~Love's Theme) ect.
Years ago, I met an electrician who had done work for Herb at his home in Los Angeles. He said that you'd never meet a nicer guy in the world: just a humble, regular guy who treated everyone the same. Without knowing Herb, I'm just not surprised.
I knew a guy who worked at an AM radio station, WLKK AM 1400, here in Erie, Pennsylvania. I worked as a producer during the same time as a weekend producer. This wonderful tune was selected to be his intro music when he came on the air at 6 am every morning. At 6 bells, I would hear NBC chimes, NBC radio news, then the air would be filled with this song and it was epic. It left a lasting memory from a time when I was involved with a great radio station and the people who worked within it.
Listening in 2023! Love this. Reminds me so much of my dad, growing up in Miami 1980s without a care in the world. Love you dad, RIP dad i miss you so much.
It is impossible to walk down the street listening to this song and not exude monumental swag
So true...
: )
I was working a late nite call at work (no fun) and pandora kicked this on my Chuck Mangione channel. I was exuding monumental swag in my chair while working the problem at work. Made a bad night good.
Going to play this walking on the treadmill at the gym. 😀
My brother is is a generation Z- the music he listens to today is damaging my ears.
Helped me get through every morning for eight months in the VA Hospital in Seattle. Thank you Herb...and Randy. You bring life to my dying body.
Did you notice that there is 229 thumbs down? How do you feel about them?

Perfect!!!!
Next indoor crop will hear this. God Bless from Colorado.
I’ve loved this song for over 40 years. This is high art.
Me too! Yes, it's timeless Art!
1979 classic
Sri Lankan here. Grew up listening to this stuff in the 1970's. Good to hear it again.
I can remember cruising through Harlem with my dad in his monte Carlo listening to this, he passed on 2 years ago, r.i.p. dad, thanks so much for the memories.
What a great memory that have !!
The irony. A few years ago Herb Albert read that they had closed down a school of music in Harlem due to financial problems. Herb Albert donated 500k to the school. And they were able to reopen!
He's in a better place. Plz keep your heads up and stay safe. 🙏 God bless you and your family 👪 🙏 ❤️ ♥️ 💕 💙 👪 🙏
@@willjenkins3529 you too brother
Maybe with the world health problems, we should all lock ourselves away and just enjoy music for what it is... the meaning of life.

That is what I do.......music is what keeps me sane and smiling right now and everyday for that matter. Like that Billy Ekstein song says...."Without a song".
Karen Long Psssst...Welcome! Been doing just that for 5 years in August! Peace!
I dialed up Miles Davis kinda blue the other day. Listened to the whole thing. Like taking an anti anxiety pill. Felt totally chilled
Because of the quarentine I've rediscovered Herb! Can't get enough! My late father loved him! Now I do to! He's also aged very well!
😊 used to roller skate to this back in the late 70 or early 80s. Two step on roller skates 😅❤
I have a tradition of playing this song whenever i deplane and walk to baggage claim....always a great start to any trip
That’s ace dude, keep it goin’...
@ James…. LOVE that! 😄
i need to try this tradition fs
Great idea!

Listening to on Jan 5, 2020. You see...There are those of us that will never loose class!
Leonardo Iglesias still listening on Jan. 11, 2020 CLASSIC
Leonardo my dear.... how is it possible to lose class or fabulous taste in music ?..... Not gonna happen.
By the way.... you were listening to this golden nugget on my sons birthday...so Double whammy. :)
lose
Leonardo Iglesias so true , class stays forever
Woulda been classy to spell ‘lose’ correctly. Just screwing with ya.
My mother used to dance to this song in the living room as I watched how it always brought her to life all while watching General Hospital! Lol, if some you all remember the theme to Luke and Laura. Great times..
OMG I love that they played this song on General Hospital with Luke and Laura. But it breaks my heart that it’s in a context of controversy because but before they became such a smoldering couple in love, he forced himself on her when this song played 😢
I remember, Oscar, I remember very well, and are near weeping sometimes.
Luke raped Laura when this song was playing
I'm surprised I had to scroll this far to find it! yes, GH.
YES!!!
Who's here in 2024?😊
Mother loved Herb Albert and we listened all the time!
You’re not alone my dude!

I like his music..but this one speaks to me about sadness and loss. I remember it from the original and when it was played in the bull ring in Spain.

40 YEARS LATER............., IT SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY, AND STILL ♥️'ing THIS ALBUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Perfection. And scientifically proven to make you 8% cooler just by listening to it.
And i am!
Can we take a moment of silence for those who haven’t been part of this prestigious group yet !
Herb Alpert is a musical genious IMHO. I love how this song builds slowly. Really an example of quality disco. Beautiful trumpet as always by Mr. Alpert. Just when you hadn't heard much from him on the radio this song emerged out of nowhere and blew me away. It's a song I literally never get sick of. How many songs can anyone identify with in that way?
Thank you for posting this gem and this wonderful memory for me.
Whoa Frank! Frank please tell me that was a typo. My man, That's NOT DISCO. I was "of age " during the era. This was, and IS a piece of history and ART. Disco was "club music" There were a few good tunes, but 2 totally different genres of music. And I'm not sure what comprises "quality disco" Please enlighten me. Just sayin 😊✌🇺🇸
Very well stated.
@George B, I too was of age at this time in 1979 and you can clearly hear the Disco influence as that was the music that dominated that time.
It is the music that soothes the savavge soul. ❤
@@georgeb8701 Actually this song was originally conceived as a disco number. In fact, the entire ALBUM was to be disco.
I remember being in the car with my parents listening to this - a Buick Skylark 1979. I caught the end of the disco era.
Lucy you!
Amen bruthA I wish we cld those days bk
LETS BRING IT BACK AMEN
Me too, but it was a chevy impala.
We had a blue Buick Skylark also, loved that car ... it was blue and we called her Buela - such great memories, the 70's were happy days for us ... :)
Been listening to this AWESOME song since the 70's and I'll be listening until my casket drops!😄
@Herb Alpert 😭😭🤡🤡🤡
I here you All the way 😊
The essence of the early 80s is better heard than explained. It was a time of unbound optimism and potential. It was the US at it's apex and a great time to be 14 year old aspiring trumpet player in NYC
I'm listening to this beautiful track in 2019.
You missn one more biggie.
Yes sir
phillip, i think all musicians would like to play the horn the way herb albert does. the breath he puts into it is like magic. i can breathe into woodwinds, but, the horns have to require much more.
I'm witcha, my Brother .... soooo Coooool ....
Me too, and loving every bit of it!
My mom's used to this in her car when I was a little girl. Rip momma.
Bless you.
How can you not feel at peace when this starts to play. It's still great.
Musician, composer, arranger, sound engineer, singer, actor....and all at a level few can match. This is his masterpiece.
And also music producer, businessman, accomplished artist, philanthropist and so on. Herb Alpert continues to make music, and has done so for nearly seven decades.

I was a student at university the year this song became a hit. Now I am 65 years old and I listen to it with the same pleasure as my grandchildren. Thank you, Herb Albert. You are one of the great living musicians.
One of my Mom And Dads favorite bands when I was young. I'm 56 now and remember hearing the record on our Zenith stereo console tv. I miss my pops but still have my moms.
From THE LONELY BULL to RISE and everything in between, Herb was the man.
'The Lonely Bull' came out when I was a freshman in high school. 'Rise' while I was still in the Navy. Heard everything in between.
@@carlloud1187 Ah-haaaa--you are older than I am, but I won't say how many years. LOLOLOLOL. Stay safe.

That's awesome!
Love his music
Great music
Because it's that good,JC!
Magical....just pure magic
This instrumental encapsulates my time growing up in the 70s...it touches my soul with a ghostly haunt whenever I hear it..What an Era!... 70s was the BEST!!!
All of his songs are amazing. But this one is my favorite.
Used to hear this at the supermarket as a kid in the early 80's, back when supermarkets played bad ass shopping music.
I heard this song in a Lowe's on a Sunday morning a few years ago. So smooth, funky, perfect mood setter.
Thankfully my supermarket still does.
Canadian tire plays this almost every week along with other classics still!!
Sh** go to the shoprite in Mount Laurel NJ they play this stuff a lott !😊
That's funny and "that's right!"
I first heard this song when I was a young teenager and am now 67 and love it as much now as I did when I first heard it. A timeless piece, that knows no borders, still groovin' to the music here in Canada 🇨🇦!

Lol… neither you nor I (now 68) were a young teenager in 1979.
I guess we're all around the same age. 67 and in Mtl here. Still great music that moves people after all those years. Great work Herb 💥👍
I love this song! It might not have words but it is beautiful it does not need words!
Undoubtedly the greatest record made by the tijuana brass man Herb Alpert, a smoothy Jazz Funk, this was also one of the biggest tracks of 1979, it was being played everywhere, eventualy going platinum, rise & shine it's a friday morning, wake up drop the needle on the wax, cos its really time to "Rise" up

I think my dad liked it too although I've heard it in other places also.
I remember when this monster hit came out in 1979, I played it so often I eventually wore out the vinyl record. Still love it.
All of did

Some people just carry a lot of anger. Sorry, babe.
Awesome story. Reminds me of my own marriage. Life is complex and there's often a lot of unnecessary pain, but if your dad was anything like me, he accomplished his mission. He managed to imprint onto you a special part of himself that lives on in your heart beyond the LP or anything physical. Now it's time for you to pass it down to your children.
Biggie Smalls did not bring me here. My Aunt Bev's record collection with Herb Alpert in it did.
U knew it

Me too...
Biggie's part doesn't register til midway through. I forgot about that.
One of the finest from Mr Alpert
To me, this track just embodies the beautiful decade that was the 70's!
YES!!
@Herb Alpert Absolutely! Such a wonderful part of the great times in my life, still brings me joy today, thank you!
I was ten… running through the south Bronx and hearing this blasting from everyone’s windows… Classic
I love this song soooo much.I can never stop listening to it.1979 was a great year & this song brings back all those nice memories..Thank you Herb!!!!!
The Seventies were magical.
Merlin Fangman Most under rated song ever
One of the greatest songs of all time. I remember when I was in high school and my mom bought the album this was featured on. still brings back fond memories.
Nothing like awesome memories from your childhood!! These songs take me back to when I was a little girl and all my family members that are no longer here. Miss those days.
I first heard this in 1979 in England. Fellow airman convinced me to take a listen. Been a fan ever since. Herb Alpert to Black Sabbath Baby lol

What a hell of an instrumental. Even if washing dishes you just have to move your body when listening to this one. One of the BEST!
Good house cleaning music.
Washing dishes? Whattahell... this is for making babies!
How did you know I was dancing to this while doing dishes?
soo sooo right! i get chicken skin! the chills! didnt care for my dad but he sure knew music!
Your comment made me laugh :)
I listen to this song once a week , I've been doing this for over 36 years !!
I don't think you could pick a better one
I'm sure your heart rate is impacable
the 70 ies is the decade with the greatest music ever made in music business. all genres.
and this is one of the best songs of the decade.
dark side of the moon no one can dispute that. The seventy was Great.
Absolutely! I thought I was the Only One who thought that! Much like previous generations saying the same thing! But Alas Maybe Not? 🤞🏻😌😌
Oh, And it seems like the Summers in the 70’s it was in the air! Just Everywhere! On the Summer Breeze! And Definitely on FM 📻 Radio!!! Awesome 👏 Memories of that!!!
@@lisasaims3007 I would say the 1970s has to be the best decade in terms of music as well...next I would tie the 1980s and the 1960s together.
I strongly disagree! For me it's clearly the sixties. Beatles, Stones, Hendrix, Dylan etc.
Seventies were OK IMHO and afterwards it went all downhill from decade to decade...
I remember being 9 years old when this came out. My whole family thought I was strange for listening to jazz. Thankfully everyone just let me be me. 43 years later I still love jazz and especially this song. Classics will always stand the test of time.
Absolutely
I was 10. It changed my life
This tune takes me back to my early childhood in the early 1980s. I remember hearing this on the radio growing up. The tune has such strong emotional vibes to it. It tears me up every time I hear it. Such an outstanding piece of 🎵 there!!!!
You cannot say enough about this man! Genius! Pure genius!! And not to mention all the people he made famous!$ and helped!! I remember listening to this genius when i was a little boy! My parents loved his music! Thanks mr. Albert for the music! And my memories!!
An article about Herb Alpert who is now 83 years young brought me here to reminisce about some of his great songs.
Wowww😍
Alleycat1921 Is he really 83! I’m stunned! It seems like only yesterday...
This is music that makes you feel each beat and note played. Blessed to have been part of it.
Back to when recording meant you were a true musician.
No Auto tune, just real instruments
... and multiple takes 😁😁
Likewise

... and you HAD to be a true musician!
This also made him the only performer to have a number 1 as an instrumental and a vocal performance.
The man who discovered one of the best female singers of all time!...Karen Carpenter
Mark Sayer wow I did not know that
Mark Sayer absolutely true, that's why they produced with the A&M records, (A) for Alpert BTW
Also coached Chris "Let's Dance" Montez towards the MOR music he later became famous for like "Call Me" and "The More I See You".
Mark Sayer
Yes. He heard Karen on the radio and called her
It took me over 15 years to find this song. I finally found out who made it by using Shazam lol. Theres no lyrics and Googling "Famous trumpet song from the 70s" wasnt working. I am glad that I found it. As a kid they played the heck out of this song on "Black" music stations so I automatically assumed that a brother made this song. It goes to prove that music has no color or boundaries. Thanks Herb A.
*Welcome to the club. Glad you found this tune. Not easy finding jazz music.*
Exactly!
I wasn't looking for it but was surfing for music on my new Audiophile setup. BOOM took me back to riding in the back of Dads old T-Bird in the 70s as a kid.
Lesso of love
Hey bro, i'm a latin guy born and raised in t So Cal, first hears this song on KHJ, in the 70s, I bought the album, still have it, etc. it's beautiful, real music, it makes you feel like dancing and enjoying life, right? Thats a touch of GOD.
Ahhhh, 1979. I was 18 and graduated high school. I can’t say I would like to go back to this wonderful year or any year but I’m thankful for the memories of my youth. God is good
The notes he hits are beautiful
There’s a level of perfection with the notes he chooses
1980 - a US Marine stationed in El Toro, Ca. Use to play this in my WALKMAN while walking my sixteen hour guard duty shifts. Anybody remember the WALKMAN?
Dog, I had a Walkman and played it to death. It even had radio function too.
So that was you, fucking up his firewatch.
Big Dog...... ah yes the Walkman. Good times my friend. Good times!
Big Dog classic
Good memories!!
That moment you realize your parents music was cooler than yours 😢
My father worked for (The real) Sears. The record department was adjacent to the TV and Stereo department. Every time a. New album came out he’d bring it home. This music is the soundtrack of my childhood.
I love your post!
I remember buying 45's at the Sears at the mall.
Thanks for the lovely reminder ❤
Before the mall, growing up in downtown Atlanta, I remember going to the largest department store in the area. It was the Sears. It was, idk 3 or 4 stories. It was huge !
It was amazing❤@@mindakahn9964

My dad owned a restaurant in Tulsa Oklahoma in the sixties and seventies and had this on his jukebox. This song has been in my head ever since. Love it!
What’s the restaurant? I might know it...
This man is in a class all by HIMSELF... gifted... love this song... forever...
Laura Pabon l
He's a genius
Agreed. But we need to give credit where credit is due. It was composed by Andy Armer and Randy Alpert. Props to the rest of the band too. The bassline kills.
laura i love this song is wonderful happy
Awesome music
