i knew about this song for yeeeeears, because i'd always hear it being played on KUCB (r.i.p.) when i was younger...but i never knew who it was by because half of the time the dj wouldn't name the damned thing (that, or i'd tune in while the song was almost done).

anyways, i recently found a copy of herbie's feets don't fail me now album at my favorite vinyl haunt and i played it when i got home...this joint came on and all the sudden memories started flooding back--"ohhhhh, so THAT'S what it is!"

but anyways, testify on this cut if you remember it.

aww ghat dayum

damn, i knew you'd be first on here... but yeah, i'm diggin that album. it's weird though because it's like, "herbie went disco? oh shit..." "you bet your love" is the jam, too.

Hm, still don't know what to think of Hancocks 80s work. Due to this thread, I listen to this song right now. It ain't too bad, though I therefore state that I do prefer Thrust, Manchild or even Head Hunters. Generally i'm not THAT much into his music. Sometimes I like it, but those days are rather rare.

Co-written with Ray Parker Jr.

haha, yes I like the song and the whole album

in fact "You bet your love! was my very first 7 inch single

Didn't Ray Parker Jr. and Raydio do a song too similar to this song called,
"For Those Who Like to Groove."

JazzyJ said:

Yup...

Both are similiar to Funkadelic's 'One Nation Under A Groove'...

Ray Parker & Herbie Hancock !
Herbie's solo sound was nice.
Funky shit.
