I picture Myself living in a Beach Condo with a Balcony overlooking the Ocean, wearing a flowing Robe, in the Early Saturday Morning, sipping Cappuccino, and listening to this.
I’ve been trying to remember this song for over 30 years now In Jamaica as a kid they would play it on the radio and could never get it out of my head. I never gave up looking for this song, besides having such a challenging year this is a true blessing...
This is the sound of being in the back seat of my family’s 1981 Volvo, going on a road trip somewhere. I hated this smooth jazz stuff as a kid, and now the intense nostalgia brings me to tears.
drove my neighbors crazy in my first apartment trying to learn to play this song by ear. over and over on a 200 dollar stereo out of a pawnshop and my alto from high school. pushin 60 now. can play those licks.
SPYRO GYRA "MORNING DANCE" ....SPYRO GYRA " CAFE AMORE" .....CHUCK MANGIONE "FEELS SO GOOD "....GEORGE BENSON " BREEZIN" .. AL JARREAU " MORNIN " ....HERB ALPERT & THE TIAJUANA BRASS ..." RISE " ANYTHING BY SADE...( LOVE HER & HER VOICE..HER VOICE....OH MY ) ....JUST A FEW OF THE VERY BEST OF ALL TIME !!! 🖤✡🖤✡🖤
Got married young. My kids had an eclectic playlist lol. This often started our early morning. So did Led Zepplin Herbie Hancock George Benson. What an era for music.
I had the privilege of seeing them live in London Crystal Palace...jazz festival. Along with Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters... I took my dad and uncle to watch his personal favourite Chuck Berry... It was a fantastic day.... both my dad and uncle have since long passed away...but whenever I hear this track ... I am instantly transported to that beautiful day in 1979... one love ... one mother earth 🌍❤️ blessings to you all... If music be the food of love... play on....
@@Uplifttherace And why wouldn't it. It was recorded in analog. Remaster it in any format you choose and along as it's played note for note it's still "Morning dance".
Summer of 1979 kid of 13 spent my summer in the golden beaches of West Cork Ireland sunny days and one of the classics from that summer chill out sounds of SPYRO GYRA "Morning Dance" years later got to see them @ CORK Jazz Festival 2019 brought back those carefree memories of '79 classic 😎✌️👍.😊
I was in college when this came out. Some dorm friends and I would crank this up and "air" play the various solo parts and dance around. One of my fondest memories of college.
I had the honor of seeing Spyro Gyra perform in concert many years ago in Memphis, TN, along with David Sanborn!! One of the best shows ever!! Great memories I will cherish forever!!
I just happened to come across this today, and I've transported back 45 years ago when I was first introduced to this incredible band. Thank you for taking me back❤
This is the song that did it for me back in 1982. After hearing it, I became a Spyro Gyra fan, and a jazz fan for life. Since that year, 1982, when I started college, jazz is all I listen to and I enjoy every second of it. My all time jazz songs are On the Stairs by Pat Martino and I'm Late, I'm Late by Stan Getz. I've seen Spyro Gyra live three times and loved it.
Fun Fact: The album Morning Dance went gold the same year it was released. Eight years later, it was certified platinum. This LP has some legs! Over forty years after it was released, people are still enraptured by its sound.
I helped it go gold! I bought this album as soon as I heard it back in '79 ( thank you, WRVR, in NYC back in the day!) I memorized every solo and riff, and can still play the sax solo...loved this groove from the get go!
Sweetness Overload,pure happy feel good vibes,gets your day jump started,and especially on a Monday morning..It's one of my top fave Spyrogyra 🎵 ❤❤❤ Big thanks for all the lovely feel good happy songs you have given us throughout the years 💐 💐 💐 👍 👍
Yeah, exactly. life was great back then before the globalists sold our Country out by outsourcing our Mfg base. It's a hollow remnant of what it once was.
This song converted me to Jazz at age 12 in 1979 and I've never looked back since. You can listen to every instrument in isolation and enjoy it. Today, all the instruments play the same beat and you get bored after listening to it once. You can never get bored listening to this 20X a day. Just brilliant.
Morning dance was part of my soundtrack when I escaped West Texas and tapped into the hip scenes in Santa Fe, Albuquerque and then wonderful Tucson with a busty, green-eyed longhaired beauty who became my wife.
I remember hearing this when my mom would be up early cleaning and cooking breakfast, I would lay in bed and wiggle my feet to the music and Bob my head, and thinking time to get up.... she's going to play earth, wind, & fire next.!!
Darron Lundy your lovely comment made me laugh n cry at the same time, especially when you said your mum will play earth wind & fire next, what happy memories you must have, at 56 now this was back in my era.
Yes, same sort of memories...I was 22 & living in London UK when this came out in 1979...went out straight out and got the LP in the summer of 1979. My parents also LOVED this tune. Great memories of not having a care in the world.
brilliant darron i have a similar memories but mine was waking up to go to work at 6 am the sun was shinning through my bedroom window and this came on the radio just as my mother who knew i had to get up early for work came in with a nice cup of tea ,perfect a great tune !
"Morning Dance" has always been my favorite Spyro Gyra song...I loved cruising on Lake Tahoe on a sailboat and listening to this and "It doesn't matter"! So smooth & relaxing...it doesn't get any better!
My grandfather used to listen to this I was told and he was a big jazz fan so am I i never got a chance to meet him but one day I will have the chance to sit up in heaven with him in a jazz club and just talk all night long!!!
Ha, I'm here because I got a bunch of old records from my dad a few years back,he found them in a storage unit. I don't have a record player so I'm staring at this vinyl on the wall in my garage area where I spend most of my time thinking"I can't remember if I ever played that one" back when I had a way to play the vinyl. Nothing like the sound of a vinyl you just can't replicate it
From 1988 to 1994, I use to host the Sunday Morning Show on WCGO, 1600 AM, In South Chicago Heights, Illinois, and this was my show theme. Such a great song and such great memories.
I was about 23 when Morning Dance was first released. I had the album. I haven’t thought about this recording in years. I am now 67 years old, recovering from a recent hip replacement. Thinking about listening to something that will cheer me up in the morning. Morning Dance flashed through my mind. It still works as an inspirational pick me up. Thank you for posting.
I bought this album on it's first release, and it has stayed with me ever since...this track is our Wedding playlist from 2011, I play the whole playlist regularly 😍🎶
MORE ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL JAZZ MUSIC! MAY IT NEVER END! I used to have all these great jazz and R&B albums mixed in with some great rock and roll and folk. Nothing better!!! THERE'S ALWAYS A PLACE FOR THIS TYPE OF MUSIC IN OUR CULTURE!
"Morning Dance" by Spyro Gyra was the first used CD I bought at an indie music store called Hungry Ear in the 1980's. The bright and lively music on this CD set me on a path to new and used music CDs at indie music stores and Syro Gyra fandom.;)
The sound of Jay Beckenstein blowing that alto sax is mind blowing on this track, along with Rubins Bassini on congas & percussion, David Samuels on steel drum, an instrument you rarely hear in modern musc, to give it that Carribean flavour, what a brew, there you have it, one of the biggest sellers of 1979 from the Morning Dance album & it wasnt a Disco track either
J Eshun Your comment made me listen to it to the end and you are 100% correct. They played with such ease, never over playing. Jay grew up in my area, but I never knew him before he made it. Whenever I did go see them back in the day, family and friends he gathered with, so I did not interrupt. But he seemed like a nice guy.
Back here again nearly a year later definitely needing a lift in spirits hopefully there's light at the end of the tunnel roll on 2021 thinking of the people less fortunate than myself
The song that really opened my ears to Jazz. Oh the memories this one brings back, Thanks for posting this Gem! This song would relax me and put me in a festive mood back in the 80's better than almost anything at the time and that's saying a lot for one of the best times in the world for music, the 70's and 80's!
When I was 17, my father, brother and a friend of his all took a road trip to Montana for skiing. My dad had his car cleaned out before we left and forgot to put back into the car his cassette collection. The only one he had was this album. I think we listened to it for 600 of 1,000 miles (each way). It made for a very long week. But I hear this song now and it makes my heart warm.
Totally forgot this was the hit that first brought the group's unforgettable name to my attention, but like someone commented below, I instantly remembered every twist and turn in it. Must have been on the radio constantly in its prime. Fun to hear it again, love the steel drum in there, but wow, did this hit fall off all the radio playlists since the early 1980s!
I was 29 when this tune was released. Boy the good old school days sure wish we all had them back. House parties full of fun and love for All people. 69 now but still listening. Where does the time go?
This song brings back memories of the early 80's during news sports highlights when the final scores would scroll up the television screen while Morning Dance was playing.
@@josephmasci1169 That would be The Tralfamadore Café, named after the planet Billy Pilgrim is taken to in Kurt Vonnegut's classic _Slaughterhouse-Five_ novel.
Freshman year in the UAB BLAZER BAND... team would be warming up as we played this LIVE no crap no stadium anthems just solid live music. Miss those days.

RUclips is the best part of the internet. No idea who created it, but you did the world a favour. 🙏 Thank you to all those who share their fabulous uploads on here. 🎶
The name of the artist is clearly said in and on this video...... but I do agree with the rest of what you just said.
@@TD010, he was referring to RUclips in his comment, not the artist.
RUclips was created by Steve Chen, Chad Hurley, and Jawed Karim. They were working for PayPal at the time. They sold it to Google in 2006. It was originally created as a dating site.
@@Beauty-and-the-Dia-betes Thanks for the reply and information.
Aw, it was nothing. But you’re very welcome.
How can you NOT instantly feel so much better whenever you hear this classic?!!
Takes me to another place....🎸💃🕺🎸
I swearrrrrr this song is the best thing that happened in my life
Did anyone screwed yo life
It really is a great "pick me up" song
It's beautiful in the morning, like "breezing" by George benson
I picture Myself living in a Beach Condo with a Balcony overlooking the Ocean, wearing a flowing Robe, in the Early Saturday Morning, sipping Cappuccino, and listening to this.
Yesss!
Love it !
Splendid!
Why not
Right on MsK, would that be the canned cappucino of the day?
You nailed it!
A classic of the 70's.
Among The Classics of the 70,s!!!
I’ve been trying to remember this song for over 30 years now
In Jamaica as a kid they would play it on the radio and could never get it out of my head. I never gave up looking for this song, besides having such a challenging year this is a true blessing...
#JamaicanPeopleAreCool
I was saying the same thing 🇯🇲 then I saw your comment
@Ruth Collins reminds me of my italian girlfriend - without clothes - most of the time
Sound track of my youth
The evening peoples show
This is the sound of being in the back seat of my family’s 1981 Volvo, going on a road trip somewhere. I hated this smooth jazz stuff as a kid, and now the intense nostalgia brings me to tears.
Soul Family on the rise to the top 😊😊
Nice comment . I get you Nathan .
Special memories, my brother and I listened to this tune every morning sometime back in the 70's. Thanks bro!
drove my neighbors crazy in my first apartment trying to learn to play this song by ear. over and over on a 200 dollar stereo out of a pawnshop and my alto from high school. pushin 60 now. can play those licks.
I remember you
Hard work and dedication.
I had a Bundy,1984.
I need to start playing again
Two hundred dollars was a lot of money back then, I hear ya, 🤘
My young married days with little kids and the contemporary jazz FM station. Life was straight forward and simple then. Miss those days.
Enjoy the kids and the music. It will all return. I have a grandchild the beauty and the music. It has returned
The only constant is change...unfortunately
IT´S VERY LEGAL
@@tjsboywonder Not always for the better...
What happened?
It’s been over 30 years since I’ve heard this. It’s amazing how your brain doesn’t forget a single note or rhythm when it comes to groovy music.
I was thinking the same thing....
Same here.
And me, just said the same thing to me missus then saw your comment , spooky
Hendrix believed music had a profound effect on people. Even healing.
SPYRO GYRA "MORNING DANCE" ....SPYRO GYRA " CAFE AMORE" .....CHUCK MANGIONE "FEELS SO GOOD "....GEORGE BENSON " BREEZIN" .. AL JARREAU " MORNIN " ....HERB ALPERT & THE TIAJUANA BRASS ..."

41 years ago when this came out.... still listening and will continue to
IM with u K J, This makes the day a little sweeter.
Haha, they had Roberto Vally, and lost him. By far the greatest musician this band ever had.
1979, great times.
David Ramirez The last gasp of cool, 1979.
Good music
Got married young. My kids had an eclectic playlist lol. This often started our early morning.
So did Led Zepplin Herbie Hancock George Benson. What an era for music.
You raised your kids right! 👍
RUclips is only the place where we get childhood memories of musics that we get to listen and remembrance of old memories coming back.
Soothing to your soul hearing this Morning Dance by Spyro Gyra, really miss the jazz music in the 80’s.
This came out in 1979.
This song activates all the cells in your body. How can you not love this !!!! It's so good for the soul ❤
Amen to that! It's sooo good! ❤
Amen!!❤👍😎
Amen, @@tombeyer375
Amen,@@richardsauceda7074
I start my day with this track
Just sent it my girlfriend- she's ten years my senior- I'm 57- she'll love to hear it again!!
I had the privilege of seeing them live in London Crystal Palace...jazz festival.
Along with Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters...
I took my dad and uncle to watch his personal favourite Chuck Berry...
It was a fantastic day....
both my dad and uncle have since long passed away...but whenever I hear this track ... I am instantly transported to that beautiful day in 1979...
one love ...
one mother earth 🌍❤️
blessings to you all...
If music be the food of love...
play on....
Well jel, I bet that was such a great day
I'm sure it was a great show... with all those guys... lucky you!!
Was there also met Lee Ritenour and Ernie Watts also a great final set by Willie Bobo .
This is such a great groove. Still sounds good in 2020
Sounds even better in 2022.
Yes…Agreed! 2022 is even better!!!🤣👍🏾
@@Uplifttherace And why wouldn't it. It was recorded in analog. Remaster it in any format you choose and along as it's played note for note it's still "Morning dance".
Yes it does.
@@Uplifttherace disagree...sounds better in 2023!

This takes me back
Amen. The best cool jazz ever
Miss these days sooooo much.
This song immediately takes me back to my childhood in Jamaica. Hearing it on a radio program daily after school. Thank you for the nostalgia
Same! That's when I would hear it
When I was pregnant with my last 2 children I would play this with headphones on my stomach, that was 35 yrs ago 🥰
I grew up listening to this...so soothing and calm. Just pure beautiful music.
at 86, i'm still growing up, listening.
I was 14 when I first heard this song. Got it on 7 inch record stored at my mums
I heard this when I was 14 still haunts me.
Where do you reside
Where do you reside
One of the many admirable fusion jazz legends of the era..... still ever green..... Papua New Guinean.....
I was in college when this came out. Some dorm friends and I would crank this up and "air" play the various solo parts and dance around. One of my fondest memories of college.
I worked in a factory make vinyl hand bags back in the late seventies when this song would play on my boombox- public radio -FM.
I had the honor of seeing Spyro Gyra perform in concert many years ago in Memphis, TN, along with David Sanborn!! One of the best shows ever!! Great memories I will cherish forever!!
My 8 year old son says it makes him feel like he's on a beach.
Yeah kind of Caribbean feel
This is what I listen to going to the beach...
Oh yes. I am certain that most songs featuring the steel drum have that very same : 'Ahhhhhhh, the beach mon!!'
LOL
Your 8 year old son is correct.
Oh my!!! your son is right!!! We played in our Easter vacations, at the beach!!! Viva la vida!!!!❤️
I just happened to come across this today, and I've transported back 45 years ago when I was first introduced to this incredible band. Thank you for taking me back❤

i still remember that was the same yr i became to like Spyro Gyra, Chuck Mangione, Earl Klugh.and now i feel 20 again...feel songood
Same here. I bought every album thereafter.
I'm only 53 but it's hard to believe that was 35 long years ago.
No, I mean one of the greatest guitarists of all time - Pat Martino.
Yeah, back in '77 it was listening to Spyro Gyra that I progressed to John Coltrane
August 1979! Never forget it! Great player!
Fun Fact: The album Morning Dance went gold the same year it was released. Eight years later, it was certified platinum.
This LP has some legs! Over forty years after it was released, people are still enraptured by its sound.
Timelessly beautiful music!
Hello how are you doing hope you are doing well how is the weather over there you Really look so nice on your profile🌹🌹🌹
I helped it go gold! I bought this album as soon as I heard it back in '79 ( thank you, WRVR, in NYC back in the day!) I memorized every solo and riff, and can still play the sax solo...loved this groove from the get go!
thanks for the fun fact, it's not surprising though, judging from all the pleasant notes it hits, with just the right instruments
Can’t imagine why ! One of the best music artists ever. Totally agree with you
this song is like life should be,,,,,,,, easy and relaxed. Nothing better to start the day. .
This was the theme for a detroit morning show. Got me hooked on jazz
Spyro Gyra's music will live on, will never fade away for those who grew up with it, Simply enjoyable
🎉In Cali, we had 94.7 The Wave, $mooth Jazz. Thankfully their D.J.s kept $pyro Gyra in rotation! Godspeed my virtual brothers and sisters worldwide.

This song reminds me of my late friend’s favorite. I’m sure you are having a great time with the Lord above. Cheers Jing P.
so this is where Fergie ripped off her 'Paradise'
I remember hearing this when my mom would be up early cleaning and cooking breakfast, I would lay in bed and wiggle my feet to the music and Bob my head, and thinking time to get up.... she's going to play earth, wind, & fire next.!!
Darron Lundy your lovely comment made me laugh n cry at the same time, especially when you said your mum will play earth wind & fire next, what happy memories you must have, at 56 now this was back in my era.

Nice

The sound of Joy
Yes, yes, yes!
morning dance is life, we need more songs like this
"Morning Dance" has always been my favorite Spyro Gyra song...I loved cruising on Lake Tahoe on a sailboat and listening to this and "It doesn't matter"! So smooth & relaxing...it doesn't get any better!
My friends and I used to do the same on Kauai. Smoking weed and cruising. Life was good. 🌴🌞🎶
You guys sound like my Senior high Ecology teacher.
Love the Steel Pan in this music. This is the spirit of Trinidad, limeing on Maracas beach sipping on some vat19 rum, just enjoying the sean and sun.
you got the Maracas Bay right also the shark and bake and a cola Carib.
My grandfather used to listen to this I was told and he was a big jazz fan so am I i never got a chance to meet him but one day I will have the chance to sit up in heaven with him in a jazz club and just talk all night long!!!
Why haven't I have ever heard of this song before and now I am just hearing this for the first time. This is truly a beautiful song.
Absolutely love this song particularly the saxophone. A real hidden gem.
I agree sir top quality.
I worked on this record at Infinity / MCA back in the late 70s. Makes me feel good to see the pleasure that it’s Brought to so many.
One of the best tunes from Spyro Gyra!
It is certainly a happy morning song.
This song makes one think that they are on a beach ⛱️ sipping a cocktail 🍸 👌 😎
A very summery tune
Released back in early '79
March 1979
Ha, I'm here because I got a bunch of old records from my dad a few years back,he found them in a storage unit. I don't have a record player so I'm staring at this vinyl on the wall in my garage area where I spend most of my time thinking"I can't remember if I ever played that one" back when I had a way to play the vinyl. Nothing like the sound of a vinyl you just can't replicate it
Brings me back to my senior year of high school. Love this! Great days. Beach, beer and frisbee.
From back when jazz was positive and upbeat and just meant to get you movin' to the groove--where did music like this go, because I want it back??!!
From 1988 to 1994, I use to host the Sunday Morning Show on WCGO, 1600 AM, In South Chicago Heights, Illinois, and this was my show theme. Such a great song and such great memories.
It was a show theme on WBEN AM 930 in Buffalo, and the station also used the instrumental portion of Gino Vannelli's "People Gotta Move"
And I used it on my BBC programme from 2001 - great way to start 3 hours on an upbeat note
Just Plain Jimmy very cool! I’ll bet the memories are priceless.
@@powelltothepeople3740 are you peter ?
Just Plain Jimmy I’m from Chicago bro !! This music so soothing and fresh, It just makes you feel good all the way around.
This was one of my favourite bands, a spirit riser
Morning Dance, on a Sunday morning....priceless! 😊
What a great song and the sax absolutely kicks ass!!
Quando cresci con questa musica..
L allegria resterà sempre con te...grazie
Listening to this song makes me cry, oh the memories of playing this with my friend on my record player...

Fantastic saxophone - this number brings back so many happy memories.
Talk about 'Feel good factor' or what!!
Love the saxophone too

A big hit from the jazz explosion of the late '70's.

Thankyou Speedrcer
speedrcer1 this is still a great tune to listen too after all these yrs
J Eshun Your comment made me listen to it to the end and you are 100% correct. They played with such ease, never over playing. Jay grew up in my area, but I never knew him before he made it. Whenever I did go see them back in the day, family and friends he gathered with, so I did not interrupt. But he seemed like a nice guy.
J Eshun I was just telling my son that this was a crossover hit and played regularly on the radio. Great song!!
Wet and windy day end of January needing something to lift me certainly hits the spot back to younger days happy memories
Back here again nearly a year later definitely needing a lift in spirits hopefully there's light at the end of the tunnel roll on 2021 thinking of the people less fortunate than myself
Another year is there light at the end of this horrific tunnel hoping and praying transported back to much happier times
Happy memories 😊
I have the LP and i often play it...at full mfkn volume as it deserves hearing
So beautiful... makes me feel young again. I loved those years in the music business. And the modulation lifts the heart on a soft breeze. Wonderful

I think we listened to it for 600 of 1,000 miles (each way). It made for a very long week. But I hear this song now and it makes my heart warm.
I'm sure the same people who enjoy and appreciate GREAT music go to the GREAT songs and LOVE the MUSIC!
Saudades da antiga radio Eldorado de SP, tocava essas perolas!!
Sipping some coffee to this right now. Brightens my day every... single... time.
Who can sit still when this beauty is playing?? Thanks guys for awesome music.
Cant help but have a smile on your face when this songs plays no matter the age .
You're a psychopath if you can't enjoy this music
Going to my province by hiking,rivers flow,feeling free,listening to my headphone,smelling grass smoke ...love it...
Dancing to it on a Sunday morning ! Great !
Totally forgot this was the hit that first brought the group's unforgettable name to my attention, but like someone commented below, I instantly remembered every twist and turn in it. Must have been on the radio constantly in its prime. Fun to hear it again, love the steel drum in there, but wow, did this hit fall off all the radio playlists since the early 1980s!
Classic song, always makes me think of summertime no matter when during the year I hear it playing.
This song always puts me in a good mood. I love this song. :)
I was 29 when this tune was released. Boy the good old school days sure wish we all had them back. House parties full of fun and love for All people. 69 now but still listening. Where does the time go?
Still awesome...
This song brings back memories of the early 80's during news sports highlights when the final scores would scroll up the television screen while Morning Dance was playing.
I was lucky enough to see Spiro Gyra and I thin George Benson at the Universal Amphitheater around 1981. Unbelievable show.

Saw them at the Front Row in Ohio during high school... Loved em.. I was a jazz nerd
Yes it was...
Grew up with these guys in Buffalo ny. They started at a jazz club called The Tralfadore Cafe
@@josephmasci1169 That would be The Tralfamadore Café, named after the planet Billy Pilgrim is taken to in Kurt Vonnegut's classic _Slaughterhouse-Five_ novel.
I CAN STILL REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME I HEARD YOUR MUSIC... Awesome
Freshman year in the UAB BLAZER BAND... team would be warming up as we played this LIVE no crap no stadium anthems just solid live music. Miss those days.
