    Hey Tim! I'm a native Washingtonian; so, I'm really loving this! The Blackbyrds were from D.C. and spent a lot of time in and around the park. So, this was their ode to "Rock Creek Park". When this song came out in 1975, my friends and I heard it regularly on radio AND blasting from the radio of every car that drove by us. "Doing it in the park, doing it after dark, oh yeah, Rock Creek Park, oh yeah, Rock Creek Park!" This was a summer anthem in D.C. 😃👍🏽❤

      I'm DC, born and raised also, and my sisters used to play this jam at their house parties. You know the ones with the red lights...lol! They would let me sit at the bottom of the steps to our living room and watch them and their friends get down. I was five years old then, but I remember it like it was yesterday. #SoutheastDC

      OMG, I know. I've been in Maryland for several years, but when I drive into D.C., it's like visiting a new city. Have you been down to the "new" wharf? Gentrified is an understatement. It's very different from the S.W. area that I remember.

    Donald Byrd had some great solo albums too. Many a sample in hip hop comes from them. The synth line on this was used in Ghetto Thang by De La Soul for example.

    As quiet as it's kept, the rhythm for this mega hit by The Blackbyrds was lifted from the equally popular live version of James Brown's "Give It Up And Turn It Loose" (featuring Bootsy Collins): czcams.com/video/ajJ3R1sQdxE/video.html. The Blackbyrds were from Washington, D.C., home of both (the real) Rock Creek Park and Howard University, where their mentor, jazz trumpeter Donald Byrd was a music professor. Other classics they made were: "Do It Fluid" czcams.com/video/XVRIFN01CB4/video.html, "Happy Music" czcams.com/video/ZoLx9Bxg8ko/video.html and "Walking In Rhythm" czcams.com/video/5y3CBI260Z8/video.html but "Unfinished Business" czcams.com/video/CoqOq6jwaeU/video.html and "Summer Love" czcams.com/video/cUKinK9e0_Y/video.html were just as serious and worth checking out! Have fun and thanks for such an excellent choice to review!
