When you see an album cover like this, you know it's gonna be straight heat.
I'm convinced with this one, Don Blackman has influenced many of today's artists such as Thudercat, or Pharrell.
This is one of those tracks that you close your eyes and take a journey... RIP Mr. Don Blackman & thank you for one of many classic tracks from you! God Bless!!
This song wins with everything; harmony, texture, performance genius and all I can think of. Don Blackman gave me everything I needed in one song. I'm so hard to please. I need a splash of jazz, a dose of funky rhythm and maybe 17 other things. They're like my salt and pepper, but this song lies off the chilli scale. He's still around. I got him in my head & heart.
Big Choon!
RIP to this brilliant musician who was virtually unknown here in the UK.Ā He died from cancer in 2013 and the world lost someone very special......he was up there with the brilliant Roy Ayers, E, W and F having performed with all the greats.Ā Some amazing chord structures in his music.
One of my favorites! That Bass line tho........FIRE! š„š„š„
Don Blackman Brought me here!
I love this song šµ
I'm so glad I grew with a Mom who put me on to old school Music š¶ she's always tell me the 60s and the 70s Era was Beautiful time for music she was Right about that.
The production in this era was pretty special.
What a wonderfully tasteful piano player he was, amongst everything else.
40 years on...unbelievable...
Had been listening to Brandy by Dwele and Go Ladies by Slum Village forever and took almost forever to recognize this song is the source! Great album.
This was my uncles fav song he just passed a few days ago. And Iām sad as hell
Tis ashame that they don't play this gem on the radio
I have listened to this and all rare grooves for over 30 years, they still sound amazing.... you really can't beat rare grooves!
This is one of the greatest songs ever. Nothing could convince me otherwise.
DAMN, "People Under The Stairs" brought me here, Don Blackman made me stay. R.I.P. DOUBLE "K" (P.U.T.S.) you and THES ONE are true descendants of Hip-Hop.
