    M.F.S.B. "Poinciana" and Gato Barbieri "Poinciana" are two that come to mind.

    I'd suggest that it would be a good idea to give your threads/topics a more individual title name rather than just "Name this song" every time, it would make it easier to keep track of them, and we'd know if we'd looked at a particular one before.

    Paradise Express did a fabulous version of Poinciana, but it wasn't instrumental so completely ignore my totally useless contribution!

    "Poinciana", from Frankie Crocker's Heart & Soul Orchestra's Disco Suite Symphony No.1 in Rhythm and Excellence, on Casablanca 1976, was completely instrumental. And, I might add, one of, if not the most beautiful cut on the 2 LPs.
    With the strings arranged by Gene Page, everything has that swirly, lush, Love Unlimited sound to it.

    I must note that there's vocalists listed by the poster of the LP info below. But ignore that, as there's no vocals, at all, on the LP.

    Here's a You-Tube link link to the song

    Here it is as an instrumental by MFSB, except the arrangement's a bit abstract
