Every how and then this song pops up somewhere and I have to jam on it. OG version blows Steve Miller's out of the water! Thanks for posting it!

Classic. Ben Sidran (See you on the other side) produced it, he was in the Steve Miller band. Nice when a record company's fuck you over twice, Pena's second album came out almost 3 decades after recording it. He did make some money on the royalties of Jet Airliner though.

What a shock, a black artist getting fucked over by the music industry.
