it's not on Tidal, spotify, or apple music. My guess is the artist or the people who hold the rights to the song don't want it on streaming. Which is a damn shame.
I knew this song was going to be powerful with all of the hip hop songs that have sampled… but this intro sends me straight into choking back tears. Music used to move mountains.
TO BE HONEST THANKS TO HIP HOP MUSIC IT HAS BROADEN MY TASTE OF MUSIC AND MADE ME DISCOVERED SO MANY GEMS WITHOUT HIP HOP MUSIC MY RECORD COLLECTION WOULD BE VERY NARROW IF I WERE A MUSICIAN I WILL LET ANY ONE SAMPLE MY MUSIC FOR FREE RESPECT TO ALL HIP HOP DJS AND PRODUCERS FOR BRINGING OUT HIDDEN GEMS THROUGH SAMPLING
i had the great pleasure of meeting this amazing guy in the studio a few times and i cant begin to say how much of an inspiration he was to me! and he also gave me permission to use any of his records for production, great guy and will be missed but his music will forever live on!
Thank you for uploading this incredible tune by Raphael Ravenscroft. Although Raphael didn't sing the vocals on this song, he did write, produce, and play sax on the song. I think had this song got a little more air time around 1979 from the U. S. Disc Jockey's at the time it would have skyrocketed up to the top of the U.S. Charts and Raphael Ravenscroft may have had a little bit different turn in his life. This is an incredible song. Thank you again for posting.
Thank you for giving some insight into this song! I’m 23 so this is far before my generation and what you said helps me understand why this wasn’t a hit back then.
@@jessent5116 Ronnie Charles was the singer on this song. Incredible and powerful voice. It's absolutely PERFECT for this song. I wish this song had played in the US. It would have been a big hit. The disc jockey's pretty much determined what was going to be a hit or not by how much they played it on the radio. FM Radio was HUGE back in the 70s/80's era. Disc Jockey's like Casey Kasem, Wolfman Jack, and the many others could make or break an artist almost instantly if they wanted to. They had tremendous power over music back in that era simply based on what music they played on the radio. They could pretty much play whatever songs they wanted to. They took a lot of requests from "call ins". It was a great era for music back then. I miss those days.
Well Raphael Ravenscroft was a great saxophone player and bought a nice peace of sax into this song as he covered it but the orginal song writer was Dave Lewis 1978: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xTbSvVFP6M4.html
Raph Ravenscroft was the guy responsible for the famous sax riff in "BAKER STREET". I think the girl in the pic was his real-life g/f, she also appears in the promo vid for "MAXINE" which I've uploaded on here.
The beginning makes me think you are living in a run down apartment upstairs in the city and it’s always cold outside . Life has gotten really hard money is low but you still try to see the best in everything.
