David Mancuso at The Loft

This was first recorded in 1969 and released in 1970 on the album titled, 'Thousand Finger Man' (released on Sold State Records; later reissued on Blue Note in 1999). The next time this song showed up was on the 1979 Candido album, 'Dancin' & Prancin''. 

This particular version appeared on the 2005 Candido double-CD compilation called 'The Anthology'. It's longer than the two previously mentioned cuts at twelve and a half minutes long - more time to lose yourself in the sweet music!

I had to stumble upon cover versions by Brooklyn Express and D'Angelo before realising that Eddie Kendricks was the first one to perfom this funk classic. 

In the original version the actual song kicks in straight away, which is not always fun if you're spinnning for the dancefloor.  So my edit comes with a 5 minute build-up. And in the beginning I used a guitar sample from the Brooklyn Express version. Enjoy!
