Ronnie Laws played for EW&F before going solo. Just a little random info.
Bought every Ronnie Laws album starting in 77. My friends and I would listen to him sitting around late at night. I'm now 65 and some of those friends are gone now. Brings back so many bittersweet memories. His music still sounds great to this day.
Last year Ronnie Laws received a Lifetime achievement award signed by President Biden for his decades of great music. Ronnie is a legend, and he is still performing and cutting albums.
The brilliant Ronnie Laws I love Friends & Strangers 😊😊
Me too
You've come across one of my heros in life jazz, contemporary jazz, new age jazz . I'll I know is he's fantastic musician who I saw live many years ago. He was fantastic live, saw him twice. Larry(EWF) Dunn played on this album. As did Laws played on a EWF album and. was part of the group. Keep going with Laws you can't lose
The word for this song is mesmerizing. I am 63 and this album was released in 1977 (when I turned 18 in June and graduated High School). The Summer of 77 was an AMAZING time for music: Saturday Night Fever (the movie and soundtrack), our introduction to Frankie Beverly and Maze and Heatwave, and other artists with new releases like The Brothers Johnson (the album Right on Time w/the hit single Strawberry Letter 23), the Isley Brothers (Go for Your Guns w/the hit Footsteps in the Dark), the Commodores (w/the hits Brickhouse, Easy and Zoom). That was a Golden Summer and I'm STILL Blessed from it.🤗🤗😍😍💃💃
And I was there in the midst of all this great music during that time. Graduated ‘81 in LA but my school years was so much fun with this good music 🎶❣️
just turned 20 and i wore this cassette out.
Class of 75 here. Ohhhh boyyy. I feel so blessed to have experienced this fantastic music that accompanied me through the different phases of my life, and that I’m still enjoying today.☺️
@@Mishy555 very cool
His brother, Hubert, is a renowned flutist that had a hit progressive jazz album. He and his siblings are from Missouri City,TX just south of Houston
MF Doom used a sample of this for his track: "Deep Fried Frenz". Also, fun fact: Ronnie Laws was briefly in Earth, Wind & Fire in the early days. I recommend the song "Power" for those who are interested.
I was there Ronnie set the standard. Thanks for showcasing this. People need to know where thier music comes from.
Another jazz artist to listen is Donald Byrd.. "Wind Parade" was always my favorite.. Black moon used it in one of there songs>> He had a bunch of songs that rappers used.. Spaces and Places was the album I loved the most..
This stuff will calm your nerves and your soul.. TRUST ME... You'll crave it
When I was a kid I'd stare at the original album cover for hours.
Very happy to have found this iconic song request/reaction in my queue just now. So happy to express how I feel about this Just Jammin reaction channel, for the attention and love given to such fabulous music as this. You made it a staple on your video intros which is one of my favorite things about these reactions. Always a delight for me. 💖🎧💖
Hey Just Jammin! Thank you for starting your journey with Ronnie Laws. This is a great choice for the first song. Keep delving into AWESOME music JJ. It will change your life for the better. Peace...Be Safe!!!
The memories that come to me every time I hear this song... This was released in '77?? Wow, I don't remember hearing it until '84... junior year in high school.
And you even do fusion jazz! I can't bring up the word to tell you how grateful I am for you resurrecting this incredible music.
Love Ronnie Laws, brings me back to my younger days. Thank you!
Check out “Every Generation”, “City Girl” and “Always There” by Ronnie. Check out “Family” by Hubert (Debra on vocals), lastly check out “Very Special” by Debra Laws.
Yessss Every Generation is my Jam
@@ladygemini5967 "Flame" was my favorite.
He was a memeber of EWF in their early days. He & his sister Deborah sang the song 'Very Special'
Ronnie Laws and Hubert Laws are both worth your time
Ronnie, Eloise, Hubert, Debra, and Johnie were all successful artists. During the same time! What a family! Lol, Very Special......
Yeah - YOU ARE THE FIRST!!!😊 Again, Thank You❤!!!
His younger sister had a song Very Special that was sampled by Big Daddy Kane featuring Spinderella, Salt-N-Pepe's dj.
Debra Laws- Very Special. That Big Daddy Kane song (Very Special) is extra dope! Mary J Blige and Grand Puba flipped that song on- What's The 411?, which JJ already reacted too.
eeYUP! On B.D.K.’s LOOKS LIKE A JOB FOR album.
The ultimate jazz cut💯
EW&F keyboardist Larry Dunn played and arranged those Moog synthesizer parts on Friends & Strangers.
A Classic...Ronnie Laws
Hubert Laws, Ronnie Laws, and Eloise Laws were some of the top jazz artists. This was a very popular tune back in the day.
This is type of sh*t I heard while I was a kid riding in the car with my mom.. At a party with my family.. This is golden music... Hey listen to Ronnie Laws "Always There".. Thats another song that compares to this.. AWESOME
I bought the album because of "Always There".
I was a sophomore in college when this came out and saw him perform this live. Man, we partied so hard that night that it was ridiculous! Make sure you check out 'I Stay Awake'. He does vocals and sax on that one. 'Stay Still' is another hit you will enjoy.
This music just brings inner peace and relaxation!
The jazz funk fusion primarily of the 70's -80's. You ought to check it out
This was ten1st smooth jazz album I bought called, Pressure Sensitive, before they were even using the term smooth. After Grover Washington (Just the Two of Us), & David Sanborn (Chicago Song), Ronnie was the cat! He mainly focused on tenor & soprano sax. What stood out, was that he incorporated a vocal chorus into his tunes, like in this one, when the voices come in. His brother, Hubert is considered the best flautist, hands down, for decades! So it’s hard for the family to be in that shadow. The reason for Hubert’s high acclaim has to do with his amazing technique, associated with classical music, but a rich tone on flute that almost know one has acquired, with the exception of his student, Dave Valentin, who was also a successful smooth & Latin jazz artist. While Dave didn’t possess the virtuosity of Hubert when it came to improvising, he did have that full rich tone that was almost unequalled, & he played with a kind of lit energy, sometimes humming into the flute. Dave Valentin was the one who brought Angie Bofill to the attention of Dave Grusin at the GRP record label. They were both from the Bronx & had worked together on the Latin salsa circuit. They were the 1st 2 artists signed to that label. He had a solo on Angie’s, ‘The Only Thing I Would Wish For’, & she sang on his, ‘We’ll Make Love’. Your taste would dig those. Back to Ronnie, I believe he also put in some time with Earth , Wind & Fire. The sisters have also done their share of work over years, but their closest to hit were Eloise’s The Key, & Debra’s Family. A video & song you might enjoy is ‘Comfort Zone’, by Vanessa Williams, which features Ronnie’s brother Hubert on a solo on that cut.
His sister Debra had one hit with Ronnie in a more R&B type song called "Very Special"
I love that song .. My older sister used to rock that song when I was kid
This is an extra tite Jazz track that still smacks today...good music never gets old or goes out of style. This song was sampled by The Fila Fresh Crew (D.O.C.)- I Hate To Go To Work.
The whole friends and strangers album is absolutely 🔥🔥🔥
His song every generation is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The original album cover for Friends and Strangers is pretty wild.At first it looks like space aliens but it turns out to be pictures of motorcycles taken from above.Check out "Always There" also.
Thank you, Music Man, for requesting this!!!! I had heard this song for years on jazz & R&B stations, but they NEVER would say who actually performed this and they would not have an online playlist. You solved the mystery for me regarding this song I have loved!!! ❤
One of my all time favorite Jazz jams. The original album cover is a work of art. Pressure Sensitive is a good album too.
More Ronnie Laws to listen to, Life in Paradise, Love is Here ,Living Love. Also Very Special with sister Debra Laws.
Damn!!! Thank you!!! Its has been a minute since I heard this!!! I'm feelin it!!!
You Sir "Are My Spirit! To Whoever's Can't Rock With This, Bye., Jammie For Sure! My Childhood 💕
I believe Larry Dunn keyboard/synth of Earth Wind& Fire played synth on this record.
Just Jammin’. Sometimes radio DJs use this song as their background music while talking prior to going to commercial break on some smooth jazz stations
One of the early smooth jazz staples. If I'm not mistaken, this was produced by the Wayne Henderson of the Crusaders. If you're feeling this one, check out the Crusaders "Chain Reaction" , "Those Southern Knights", or (my favorite) "Free As The Wind."
So much sample potential
Thank you a MILLION times for this one.🎼🎵🎹😎
My pleasure!
@@JustJammin Shelly & JJ-my peepz,what a Funky song!!🤟🏽
Yes thanks
I’m stunned you didn’t recognize that MF DOOM sampled this! I’m what you’d call an “old head”, but I knew DOOM used this. Ronnie is underrated. Dude is really good.
Please react to Ronnie Laws Every Generation and Love's Victory.
That main sax sample is soo funky and melancholic at the same time.. the whole song is just perfect :) peace, dj skeli
When you get a chance,Bob James a great jazz artist in the70's and 80's.
A vibe 🎶❤️
MF DOOM sampled this on 'Deep Fried Frenz' off his 2004 album 'MM...Food' . Not sure why it didn't show up on WhoSampled.
Artist: MF DOOM Song: Deep Fried Frenz Album: MM Food
Ronnie Laws - Grace is one that would be a nice one to checkout.
My senior walk song for 1980 South Grand Prairie HS
Thank you I enjoyed listening to it with you 👌🏽
Please react to George Duke's "Reach For It"....
You will love Donald Byrd/The Blackbyrds.
If you enjoy good instrumentals, You should checkout “City Country City” by War
Bro you we are Spirits' So I am older than you " However We Vibe On The same Jammies...Much ❤️.
Ayo def check out the track Saturday by The Ballers. I have this record by Ronnie Laws and I heard it many times but soon as I heard it on that track and heard that flip, I lost it. They flipped it mad nice and couldn’t believe they didn’t blow up just off that track alone! It’s that mid 90’s G funk sound but from Florida. Hopefully u dig it like I did first time I heard it. They also sampled Atlantic Starr’s Second to None on their track Me 4 Me and the bass they did on that was CRAZY! Excellent production on that album.
Did you ever have a chance to check out Ronnie’s brother Hubert Laws, specifically “In The Land of Passion”? The Laws family is musical royalty in Houston.
Not yet.
Hubert Laws Romeo & Juliet is a must hear
A request. "When I Think of You". Everett Harp is the artist. The tune is from his debut cd from the early 90's.
I forgot to tell you to check out George Duke and George Benson. 6ou won't be disappointed.
Fireplace and wine or Cruzin music
I'm almost sure Camp Lo used the bassline of this song on Black Nostaljack AKA Come On
Yes, Ronnie was one of the many unsong, musical heroes. He had two other tracks that may require your attention, one is 'Flame', and the other is, 'Grace'. Grace is too cold!!
That moment you held your forehead....I did the same first time I heard this.
Another great cover of "Friends And Strangers" is by Dave Grusin. I've been reading the comments and I'm about the ninth one to suggest "Always There". So I'm not alone on that one. Incognito did a great cover of "Always There".
I used to think Makaveli (Tupac Shakur) sampled this for "To Live & Die in L.A.". Turned out he used "Do Me , Baby" by Prince. Their main basslines sound so similar to me.
Nice profile picture, gotta love Gil Scott-Heron
For a music lover it amazes me you never heard of this bands or singers that you review it’s actually shocking
You fucking with a jazz funk master right there.
Jazz artist have tons of albums. Most are live albums, covers, etc.
I feel like there was a radio show that used this as the theme song when I was a kid.
Youngsters don't know nothin' 'bout that! GROWN FOLKS MUSIC!😎
What you know bout this youngin?
He’s helped produce a lot too
I think you should check out every generation by ronnie laws. I almost teared up a little
This was/ is a musical family...Yiu got RONNIE/ HUEBERT/ DEBRA and ELOISE....
Ronnie Laws - Friends & Strangers (Remix - The LG Experience)
Sorry about the misspelled word "you". Typing fast.
Fire!
Check out ONWARD 'TIL MORNING, and LANSANA'S PRIESTESS, by Donald Byrd if you like this one. Also
Jam
MF DOOM sampled this! check out his song deep friend frenz it’s dope 👍
Hearts desire by don Blackmon banger!!!!
I think Kirk Franklin covered this in one of his Gospel songs, he does a lot of sampling from R and B,
Yup, I believe he also sampled or covered patrice rushens - looking for you
Don't care about bits and pieces or samples of songs. Chopped up by people who can't create those sounds. Just appreciate the entirety of the song. Listen to a dozen songs on the album. Consume the full meal and be satisfied. Jazz has different forms and genre. Seems like you like the contemporary, smooth jazz genre which is influenced by pop and r & b. Smooth jazz fans is a smaller and usually a more mature age market than the current popular music market. You won't see a lot of elaborate, attention getting videos because fan interest is driven by the artist's talent and creativity. Hearing jazz songs that are decades old still can sound fresh and give feeling. While newer versions of the song by jazz artists can make those same songs new and different.
You really need to check out Lonnie Liston Smith, I guarantee you will never be the same.
Didn't Raz Kazz sample this?
Classic
If you like ronnie laws friends and strangers you'll like dexter wansel life on mars jazzy
