I had completely forgotten about this song until they played it on "Soul Train" a few months ago and it is hard as hell to find. I remember loving the song back in the day but never knew who the artist was. I never dreamed it was Mtume. I had always thought "Juicy Fruit" was their first song. They should have continued making more jams like "Give It On Up", much faster and funkier.

Anybody into this one?

Hell yeah!

Its from this album, which is a blast from start to finish



It also includes the fabulous gem So U Wanna Be A Star.

This band's body of work is untouchable, not just Juicy Fruit. But everything from Kawaida in 1973 to Theatre Of The Mind in 1986.

Hi Boys and Girls,

Is this album (In search of the rainbow seekers) very upbeat? if so, please let me know or recommend me any other Mtume upbeat albums.

Thanks
