Recorded in 1976 for the Roy Ayers Ubiquity album Vibrations, with Roy Ayers as lead vocalist and principal multi-instrumentalist and Edwin Birdsong among the credited collaborators. It served as one of the standout tracks on Vibrations, an album that helped define Ayers’s polished 1970s blend of R&B, soul, and jazz. The song became one of the album’s most recognizable cuts. The track has remained a durable source for later artists and producers, and it continues to circulate through sampling, covers, and neo-soul references. Its melody and groove have kept it active in Roy Ayers’s catalog long after release.
