This song takes me back to preschool riding in my dad's taxicab in downtown dc with no worry's in the world other than wondering what Saturday cartoons were going to show.
+Roger James My friend, that's a timeless time gone by!! In 1979, I saw Roy Ayers open for a young Angela Bofill at Buffalo State College.. Roy played [Let me say performed] this cut!! Priceless!! Peace Fyi, Ms Bofill got down too!!!
@rogerjames...i was 5 yrs old in Ft. DuPont park in SE DC, every weekend in the summers. Roy Ayers is 1 of the first concerts I was privileged...my mom insisted we know fantastic music. Thank you Ma!!!
Touché 57 brother, good times! Hey, I'm giving thanks everyday for the privilege we had, once in a lifetime special, different calibre, Thank you for being a part of that it was not a fluke of time! Salute 🙏🏽😎🔥
Who else can play the xylophone like this man something we all have been exposed to as children and this brother took that instrument to another galaxy
You can never bring back the good old days when the world was full of dreams, fun, and adventure. But, when listening to Roy and some of the other musicians of that era, you can always take your mind back there. We were truly blessed.
I went to see Roy Ayers last night at the Howard Theater in Washington DC and he still has it @ the age 73 years old! HE IS A MAESTRO still getting it in! I LOVE ROY AYERS HE IS MY FAVORITE ARTIST!
this song sounds so beautiful I love how it makes me feel im all nostalgic it takes me back to a time when life was gooood man all my family was alive my mom my brothers my youth my aunt would play this type of music when I was a youngster now im all grown up and now im a jazz musician I play the saxophone lol life is funny the power of good music thanks roy you changed my life forever
the black light, the beads over the door, the poster of the naked black woman on the wall, the dashiki ,and a bottle of night train wine, you ladies know what i'm talking about.
I love at how all instruments to symphonies were utilized in many of the music tracks of the 70s and before. An era I dream would return. My dad would play this artist and many others music throughout my childhood. He is now gone. I miss my Dad, my Uncle, and the 70s.
seen this brother on soul train as a child and never stopped liking his smooth style also like how he went to Nigeria and collaborated with the great late black president felt kuti check him out very conscious black brother selah
Yes baby!!!!!!! I was in the Englewood area growing up in a foster home. My foster mom couldn't understand why I was so wise for my age!!! On 65th and Green. She didn't know I was a "Highsmith"............

Listen here in Chicago growing up you couldn't get no cooler musically the "R.A"
+Veronica Moore Please say the following; they were born in the year of 1985 and are totality clueless!!! I saw Mr Ayers perform "this cut" in concert in 1980-at-Buffalo State Univ. He opened for Ms Angela Bofill......... That Bro. got on those VIBES and did he thing!! Fyi, this is my youtube tune before I shut it down for the night!! Peace
They don't know real music! That's why I love classic R&B music from the 60s, through the 90s. All this trash I hear now they call music, puuuuh-leeeez!!!!
This is just a euphoric vibe!! I can remember when I was younger and my dad used to always play this. My pops is a huge Roy Ayers fan!! You can't find great music like this anymore.
This jam takes me back when I was in college and dating this girl....I borrowed the 8 track from her...we eventually broke up...I kept the 8 track...liked her but much love for Roy...
"NO STRANGER TO LOVE - I WANT YOU" FROM THE VIBRAPHONE MASTER ROY AYERS WAS PLAYED EXTENSIVELY BY ME IN 1980 SUNY PLATTSBURGH, FROM RADIO STATION WPLT TO MY DORM KENT HALL- THIS SONG WAS SO SEXY SMOOTH! LET THIS FLOW ENGULF YOUR SOUL! SIT BACK AND ENJOY!
I love to listen to this song as I'm watching basketball... It's crazy how each pass, dribble, shot and rebound synchronize with each note being played...
Thanks to my father as a child in the 70s for introducing me to Roy Ayers, now 50 years old been a fan ever since. Both our birthday is September 10th. Virgo Love Roy Ayers ♥️
I was in college, at southern un on a Friday afternoon classes was over,and a young lady and I was enjoying the sunset And each other, and this played soft,and slow ; beautiful memory s.
Still listening in 2020!!!! I swear I can feel this music in my soul!!!!! If you can't feel this really feel it you're not breathing!!! 💥💢💯💫💦💨💜🖤💜💙💚🤚😱😱😱😱🥶💯💢💥💫💦❤💗
Roy made a name for himself with many during the disco era cutting edgy funky danceable tunes like Running Away, Moving_Grooving, Coffy and Let's Do It. But many ( like myself ) became acquainted with his smooth side like Want You.
Music like this keeps me dating age appropriately. Somehow, I attract younger women who can hand dance and it's nice to feel like you still got it. But once the bar/club is gone and it's time for mellow music, it's like when the 'Last call' lights come on.
This man has traveled the music genre and made HITS in each one and makes BEAUTIFUL MUSIC with the xylophone and STILL doing it today..............GREAT MUSIC MAN Mr.Ayres is..........THANK YOU for your contributions sir.
I just love the sound of the vibes. And the thing is I know of and have heard many greats on the instrument; Lionel Hampton, Milt Jackson, Bobby Hutcherson, Stefon Harris ,.... still nobody plays the instrument like Roy
Roy Ayers is a genius. His music makes my wife and I feel like University Sweethearts every time we listen to this track.
This man had serious musical talent. His body of work is tremendous!
Facts
This is my life, in the 70’s wow, I could go on for hours, so much talent !
Riding down Lake Shore Drive bumping this, with your moonroof open and just enjoying the night summer breeze in Chicago love this song!
I'm in Chicago, this sounds like my type of evening. Let's ride from Jackson Park up to Hollywood and back. I'll get you home by bedtime.

I remember that this was one of the plugs for 107.5 WGCI Chicago.....

This song takes me back to preschool riding in my dad's taxicab in downtown dc with no worry's in the world other than wondering what Saturday cartoons were going to show.
Awesome

Heavenly,with real instrument , euphoria, love you Roy
This is one of his best songs. I call this music pretty and smooth. Doretha.
I hear Chicago as a youngster. Thus Roy Ayers when you heard it on the radio just stop you in your tracks.."Want You Yea☺"
I used to ride up and down 63rd st playing this cut reminiscing about the good ole days in Englewood.
Yes baby!!!!!!! I was in the Englewood area growing up in a foster home. My foster mom couldn't understand why I was so wise for my age!!! On 65th and Green. She didn't know I was a "Highsmith"............

I Still have this in vinyl record. My mind goes back a long way. I still love Roy Ayers music to this day. Listening to his music since I was fourteen. Simply amazing! Much Love!💖💖💖💖
Listen here in Chicago growing up you couldn't get no cooler musically the "R.A"
My favorite song of his. The definition of chill....
This song to be in the dictionary as the definition
Yeah Roy Ayers is sublime in Chicago.
Yes indeed he is the man and the truth!
This is a beautiful song and I remember it when I was like 14 15 years old and I never forgot it I fell in love with it so beautiful beautiful song
Who the hell are the 29 people who didn't like this song? They must be crazy!
+Veronica Moore Please say the following; they were born in the year of 1985 and are totality clueless!!! I saw Mr Ayers perform "this cut" in concert in 1980-at-Buffalo State Univ.

I remember hearing this at age 13 yrs old and this is by far one of my favorite old school songs 😎🙏💪💯
A classic!
listening too roy ayers music he has inspired me too become a professional drummer.
Walking in this frigid weather. I put this on. What cold? 🔥🔥🔥
Loved Roy , since I was 12. At 54 still in love. He’s the only artist that I can say I’m a fan of. The one and ONLY!!!!!!!!!
oh my God almighty!
Jill Scott took the very beginning of this song and looped it! She made "Watching Me" from a piece of this song! DOPE!!!
Nice catch!! I thought I was the only person that peeped that loop... 😉
Rich Medina produced it for her.
Wow... didn’t realize that!
One of my favorite songs by her....
Oh how I love this music, so clean and crisp. I grew up with Roy. His music that is. Lovely.
I Love Love Love Roy Ayers. Didn't know anyone could do that with a xylophone! Yes!
This is just a euphoric vibe!! I can remember when I was younger and my dad used to always play this. My pops is a huge Roy Ayers fan!! You can't find great music like this anymore.
This jam takes me back when I was in college and dating this girl....I borrowed the 8 track from her...we eventually broke up...I kept the 8 track...liked her but much love for Roy...
I'm 53 and this still Reminds me of my childhood on Sunday afternoons back in 1970's South Louisiana while my mom was cooking dinner!!
4:00 b4 the words kick in.
.DAMN GENIUS
Roy Ayers mischievous sense of humour often comes through his music.
sooo smooth yet hits very hard!
timeless classics will never get out of style!
Love love love love this song
Marlon Lloyd he is smooth is ever.
Yes indeed...
The album cover s sexy as hell! Definitely a 'silk sheets' kinda song..
"NO STRANGER TO LOVE - I WANT YOU" FROM THE VIBRAPHONE MASTER ROY AYERS WAS PLAYED EXTENSIVELY BY ME IN 1980 SUNY PLATTSBURGH, FROM RADIO STATION WPLT TO MY DORM KENT HALL- THIS SONG WAS SO SEXY SMOOTH! LET THIS FLOW ENGULF YOUR SOUL! SIT BACK AND ENJOY!
I love to listen to this song as I'm watching basketball... It's crazy how each pass, dribble, shot and rebound synchronize with each note being played...
I love the way I feel when I listen to this.
Na minha opinião Want You, é uma das melhores melodia do Roy Ayers. Não se houve mais essa música na rádio. Zona Norte / Casa Verde.
January 1, 2020 ....I am just hearing this great music now 👍👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥👏💪
What??This is70s music
Thanks to my father as a child in the 70s for introducing me to Roy Ayers, now 50 years old been a fan ever since. Both our birthday is September 10th. Virgo Love Roy Ayers ♥️
When times were so much more simple, art in motion, Thank you Mr, Ayres!
awesome love. it grew up with it.
Gorgeous tune make you love life sweet to the last drop

Still listening in 2020!!!! I swear I can feel this music in my soul!!!!! If you can't feel this really feel it you're not breathing!!! 💥💢💯💫💦💨💜🖤💜💙💚🤚😱😱😱😱🥶💯💢💥💫💦❤💗
Love Roy Ayres, reminds me of summer concerts at the Carter Barron or Ft. Dupont parks in DC. Great times!
Roy Ayers has supplied the soundtrack to my life!!!
Roy Ayers is the true king.
Roy made a name for himself with many during the disco era cutting edgy funky danceable tunes like Running Away, Moving_Grooving, Coffy and Let's Do It. But many ( like myself ) became acquainted with his smooth side like Want You.
this is a legend the great roy ayers him and ronny ljordan rip
4 minutes of pure bliss and vibes
So great to find music that can bring true feelings just listening and imagining
One of the smoothest ever.
love,love, love it!!!! Not for immature listeners! ;-)
The instrumental part would be perfect for "closing credits" of any show. Man this reminds me of a beautiful part of my early childhood
Music like this keeps me dating age appropriately. Somehow, I attract younger women who can hand dance and it's nice to feel like you still got it. But once the bar/club is gone and it's time for mellow music, it's like when the 'Last call' lights come on.
I always reminisce back to my early days as a youth listening to this on mom's old stereo listening to Tony Brown on wdas 105.3 in Philadelphia
I was 8 when I first heard this chilling with my big brother. God I miss my brother Michael.
Listening to that song takes me back to the 80s driving down lake shore drive. In the summer time late at night
North Philly: Lehigh Av.....east of Broad Street....circa '78-'81
This is my favorite go to meditation palette now this and earth wind and fire
Mr Ayers is so underrated that it's actually criminal..
MR AYERS should have more than 14,421 hits. people just don't appreciate music anymore.
This man has traveled the music genre and made HITS in each one and makes BEAUTIFUL MUSIC with the xylophone and STILL doing it today..............GREAT MUSIC MAN Mr.Ayres is..........THANK YOU for your contributions sir.
I just love the sound of the vibes. And the thing is I know of and have heard many greats on the instrument; Lionel Hampton, Milt Jackson, Bobby Hutcherson, Stefon Harris ,.... still nobody plays the instrument like Roy
This is indeed, "No stranger to love".
Another brilliant cut by the great one
I have not heard this in years, Brings back Wonderful Memories, Thanks for posting this song.
