These guys immigrated from Guyana to UK. After a year later, because of the glass ceiling for Black bands in UK they split up. Two became lawyers and because of that they had no idea how big the song got in NYC hip hop scene. In my day Jazzy Jay would two-turntable that break and bring the crowd to rapture. That bass was an anthem in 70s Brooklyn.
Bruh…Who is here to listen to Bra because a commercial in high rotation uses this song to advertise. It’s like an ear worm and a mind worm THAT I CAN’T GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!!!
Also — Anna Paquin dances to this song in the movie The 25th Hour.
Such a groovy track Its featured in the new 'Car Gurus' commercial n not for the life of me could I remember who the artist was. Thx God for YT n Shazam!
This is what having people of color on your marketing and advertising teams sounds like! Genius commercial hitting that nostalgia spot for the old school demographic good job.
The industry acts like the 70’s music never existed. Again, marching HBCU we played this as part of a group of songs coming onto the field. Like many other commenters I forgot this song until I heard it on a commercial.
4/19/23: Still love and play this song. I hope the group is getting royalties since portions of the song are played in Car Gurus commercials …so immediately recognizable.
I'm grateful to have grown up when I did. I was 8 years old when this song was released and from that time to this, I have very fond memories of East Harlem and my amazing family, especially Mom.
Just saw a Car commercial on TV and this was playing in it. I knew it sounded familiar but never knew the name of the Song nor the Band til just now thanks to Google.
Currently hearing this in a "Car Gurus"commercial.
Knew it was Cymande but couldn't recall the name of the song. Found it!
I knew this was "My 70's Soul Music" ; the first vocal lyrics gave it away. And I found the tune. Gotcha!
This is a wonderful eternal people's anthem. Home is where the heart thrives. The Earth is our home. We are one people.
From back in the day, one classic in my Dad's extensive record collection; the parties back then… untouchable.
The summer of 1973 what a summer!!! First Avenue forever.
What's the name of the song

When hip hop was out and about this was the jam. While cutting it up….
