This has got to be the PIMPEST song of all time...well at least in 1978. The jam by Wilbert Longmire enhances your mood exponentially! So it starts off with a thumpin' bass line making intercourse with smooth strings of chill.
And just like any sexy encounter, there will inevitably be the orgasmic howls of lady 'aaahhhhs' backboned by the thrills of Longmire's horn section.
So if you havn't started head nodding, yet, wait till the break down. As one of Cincinnati's great jazz guitarists, Longmire once again reminisces on a longtime memory of a "street corner symphony" (his first gig...) with yearning fingers hitting his fretboard with style. Packed with jazz/funk riffs, my man Longmire creates the perfect strut song...
Don't believe me? Try it out for yourself...
Next time you walk down the street corner let this street symphony fill you up with that supreme strut you've been meaning to do. Maybe finally someone will notice you, ya?
Ok, it would be inconceivable for me not to mention the historic roots of this song...
So, given that Longmire was George Benson's best friend, and both guys were black, it can be assumed that Black is the COLOR of their choice.
Here it is: "Black is the Colour" in Longmire's debut album 'Sunny Side Up (1979)'
