Reviews & Discussion
Your life will never be the same after hearing this aesthetic orchestration masterpiece. Special credits (and respect is due) to the unparalleled arrangements & Norman Bergen's approach on the tune. Make no mistake, the Instrumental is 'the' version on the single, made to be timeless. My father once said to me in my childhood a quote whose meaning I would only understand years later: "Who doesn't like strings, doesn't like music".
The instrumental is my favorite disco song of all time. Granted I'm a youngster (only 24) and haven't listened probably to as much disco as most aficionados, Tom Moulton's mix just really stands out for me, how it builds and that.
According to Bill Brewster and Frank Broughton's book Last Night a DJ Saved My Life (2000), this is the first 12" single ever pressed. I think the instrumental in particular is just a monster and if you can find it anywhere, spend the money to get it. MOT really pulled it off in that session.

The Tom Moulton instrumental is personnaly my all time favourite track.
Epic, very very beautiful instrumental, with many many beautiful deep feelings ; i found this record in November in a small record shop in Paris that's closed today, bought it for 10 euros (12dollars) the seller was involved into RAP music & didn't know anything about true soul music, , it's one of the rarest Tom Moulton mixes, one of the first I think, rare as hell.
But a record is not good because it is rare ; just put the needle on the record push play then you'll know why a track is good or isn't - and this one belongs to la creme de la creme.
You can really tell that the ex members of MFSB are involved here. Tight, exciting and hypnotizing... very very very beautiful instrumental.. Magic sound, piece of heaven.
Absolute magic, one of my favourite Tom Moulton mixes. Everything a disco record should be..
