One of the best songs from back in the days! It's all about PEACE! ✌️

Still awesome in 2024 , we had it good during the 1970's, this song is the proof.

In the 70s, we didn't categorize the music. If we could dance to it, it sounded good, was funky, musicians were on point, singers were singing, that's all that was required.

Exactly right. Categorization is mainly done for commercial reasons, but I increasingly believe that you can at most say that there is music for different purposes, without attaching all kinds of labels to it.

Im sitting by a fire pit in back of my house. Just cooked two ribeyes over it with a tripod grill. And I’m enjoying a nice cigar with a Pinot noir watching the fire die as I listen to this on a blue tooth speaker. Wish you all were here with me. If you were, Id break out the Northern Lights and expand all of your minds. Peace.

I too am 69 and have fond memories of good,clean house parties where this was played.

I was a cab driver in Honolulu when this came out. Driving between Waikiki and downtown Honolulu at night is what comes back to my memories. The days of my youth.

This song is a favorite of all us older people. We love it, because it reminds us of how we were fine, living life, grooving with all the music, doing what we do!

Iam 71 I love this song back then love it more now a'se.

A song about love and peace and the brotherhood of man, ending with that plea "Expand Your MInd. Expand Your Mind." Masterpiece, Master Peace, To Everyone Joy and Peace.

Lonnie is a Richmond, Virginia native along with his brothers Donald & Ray. Their father, Lonnie, Sr. sang with the legendary gospel group, "The Harmonizing Four". Donald is featured here on vocals and is also a accomplished pianist and flutist. Ray is the last original member of the "Jarmels" who made the song "A Little Bit of Soap".

sing it now Lonnie Liston Smith!! Broke it down, get fast and in a hurry, his music!!! Back in the 70s. When I was young.

No matter how old you are, this is a premier jam from the 70s by Lonnie Liston Smith-Expansions. This how we used to do!

It has been a great many of years since I heard this. My hometown Detroit and the former great WJZZ blasted this on a regular mid 70's early 80's

I saw these guys at baker's keyboard Lounge in '77, and they blew the place apart.

@@Biblioholic-br2rv I was going to say this is a WJZZ hit for sure and remind me of home Detroit. It's almost a Detroit soundtrack I must say

back in the day joy peace and happiness back then

I'm now 67 and was listening to this back in my early youth. What drives this is basically the bass line which almost stays the same throughout along with the keyboards and Idris's vocals. Back then this did hit the number1 spot for best jazzfunk track and in one suvey it was pipped off the top by the crusaders "Put it where you want it". Still a timeless classic and I'm still playing it. Many thanks for the upload.

Brilliant 🎵🎶 powerful music of stressful barrier time in mind to expand. The Powerful deadline we all must fulfill before ending mortal lifetime on this universe. This brilliant sound of 🎵🎶 magnetic. You are great Maestro Liston!

This was apart of my album collection when I was in college and the music got me through a lot of pain. This music was my lifeline.

I was a child and dad played this everyday. Im glad I still have my memories. Thanks Lonnie.

Growing up in Harlem in the summer of 74'. Remembering the block party I was at & the 1st. time. Hearing this song was so funky everyone there was dancing. To it having a good time it's sad that. The block parties today are like they use to. What "memories" of them. 😎

How good is this? Released 49yrs back? Still fresh as a summer breeze....
