Review by rgould Apr 25, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)

A landmark pioneering jazz-funk album that is packed with goodies - apart from the obvoius anthemic title track which packs dancefloors across genres and decades. The other tracks are a combination of dirty funk and haunting mellowness that makes this and the LP that followed it, Visions of a New World, the perfect soundtrack for summer days and nights. Lonnie Liston Smith at his finest.
