Reminds me of a great time of music genius
This makes me think of slow dancing with my first GF in jr. high school!
They don't make music like this anymore!!!! I love the music era 60's - 90's!
This song is just man!!!!! The way it's arranged is just genius. Love this song.
Damn. Just amazing. True instrumental genious. I love it. This song will lower your blood pressure and break your heart at the same time. Its amazing. The strings, the horns, the singing. Wow.

Beautiful song all these years later.
the acoustic guitar at about 1:45 in is a heart pumper
better now...than to prolong the agony...toug h . . . t o u g h . . . t o u g h . . . .
Love this group, they have there own sound .
I love this smooth ballad:)
Just make you want to close your eyes and think of that special spot you love to be in .
Beautiful song that makes me cry sometimes
Cuz there are song that sound relaxing like these that are in different eras. For instance songs like Endless Summer Nights - Richard Marx (80s) If You Leave Me now - Chicago (70s) Sailing (Live Version) - Nsync (90s) For All Time - Michael Jackson (90s) etc. I need a word or words with meaning. For example Summer Breeze
Can someone help me thing of iPod playlists for these types of songs? Something original not like 70s this or 80s that. Each era has there own "Sound" like 80s music have that Retro feel to it with saxophone solos and drums such and 70s is Disco/Boogie and so on.
Yep. Poignant memories from 1976...nice song and arrangement.
Esto es musica....
This is real music here. Wish I lived from the 60s to the 90s best era ever
My gosh, I want to cry every time I hear it. My childhood

I love this song
Lewis 3.6-this song did NOT first come out when Seinfeld was on. That may have been when you first heard it, but it came out about 20 years or so before Seinfeld. I am old enough to know.
Yeah

one of my favorites
The song came out in 1976 long before Seinfeld was on the air.

So beautiful and sad at the same time! One of my favorite songs in high school and college. I had it on a cassette of my all-time favorites and my best friend and I would hang out in her dorm room and we played that tape over and over again!

I remember when this song first came out. I was living in North Dakota on a ranch. My best friend Samatha used to sing this out in the stable as we cleaned up. We would run in at 7:00pm on Thursday to catch the latest Seinfeld episode. I was a beautiful summer.
