Time for a "What are you listening to" 2021

Was having lunch last week with a friend from my old job.
Nice Upscale place in downtown Nashville when this song came over the music system.

Stopped me in my tracks. When did this come out I thought. Had to look it up. 1978.
Could it have been that long ago?

I'd forgotten what a voice he has and those horns...
Anybody else remember this song from way back?

A live version.
