If any of you are are wondering what the non-English lines starting at 4:13 are, they're sung in Yoruba, a Nigerian language. *_"Awa o ma ranti - iranti ye o, isedale baba awa"_* Roughly translates to "We will always remember the culture of our forefathers"
Whoever said this song was the inspiration for Claude Francois' "Alexandrie Alexandra," the observation was spot-on! Not only the melody but the message, as Claude was born in Alexandria, Egypt. Sadly, Claude Francois died in early 1978 before "Alexandrie Alexandra" became a hit.

One of the all-time club classics!! 💘
Apartheid was bad but the music kept us going, this kind of music
RIP Lamont, your music brought joy to many. Thank you.
This song is so powerful ✊🏿✌🏾
Rest in Power brother Dozier!
You can say that again
N. 1 Going back to my roots 🎶1977 DiscoMusic For ever 💃🕺
"I've searching for riches I had all the time. And finding out that happiness is just a state of mind!"
This song encapsulates my childhood. My brothers and I loved it then and still do till this day.
RIP Mr. Lamont Dozier
hearing this for the first time today 42 years later. I like it
I can actually remember the first time I heard this song, who played it for me and where we were. The joy was overwhelming then and remains so now.
Lamont past away August 8, 2022 He was 81 years old
This is music, thank you lamont for beautiful memories

Only today I found out this was the original whilst listening to an 80s radio station.
Ritchie avens, hodyssee et lamont dozier toujours aussi bon à écouter les belles années sont passées la music d'aujourd'hui ce n'est que du commercial
I am as old as this masterpiece...first time I hear it...Thanks auntie....J'adore!!!
Masterpiece. This version, not Odyssey's, should have been a massive hit.
I like both, but Odyssey's cover is pretty catchy. Not all remakes are bad. ☮
@@EllaJay I agree. Like Candi Stations version of "In the ghetto"
Richy Havens nails it too.
R.I.P. a true legend. Great song here.
High energy!!!
Brilliant tune from the master. Co wrote so many top songs with Brian and Eddie Holland. Will there ever be another?
Fantastic x
Love it...
Thanks for posting it. Great version. 👍😃🎵
Magical
Going back to being myself I can’t live with nobody else I been living in a world of fantasy……
Hot track

The movie, " Kinky Boots" brought me here!! Chiwetel Ejiofor as the unforgettable " Lola"!!! 💘🎶 😍👗
Currently reading Barrocoon by Zora Neale Hurston and this resonates with me.

My suspision have been confirmed today. I always new that there was a bettet version of this song than the one by Odyssey. Thanks for posting Auntie
Thankyou!! :p
I think they're both equally good.
The Loft days pure bliss ❤
I had one of the Loft comps from 2000. Its nice to see people talking about various music and sounds that reminds them of that time. Cheers

R.I.P.
The best and original version....Nothing can compare ..Soon as you say going back to my roots everyone says odyssey..Such a shame ....
Nothing like this true classic, why I can’t find the original lyrics to this version?
Where can I find the lyrics?
Paradise Garage
Rice haven did a version of this classic
Where the hell can we find this version ? I can't find it on Spotify anymore 😢
I still like Odyssey's version better. Just my opinion.
It's more polished but it's interesting to hear the original.
@@ajs41this is the first time l heard this version
In a funny way it's the odesey version l no
Written by the man himself.
