this one i discovered quite recently and i find it strange that i haven't heard it before since it's a) damn funky b) been featured on a number of compos. it was well played out at the time and while after but it's better late than never i guess. the original i had heard before but i didn't think that much of it but i did like it but i think i liked "rocking music" more.
what peeped my interest and what made me fall in love with this track was those drums in the beginning. played by a mr. david haynes, they are raw, punchy & really driving. for someone that loves their funk and drums it was a quite a delight.
the drums are backed up by a deep but swinging bass, a great cutting funk guitar played by a mr. loomis greene and some dirty organ stabs and noodlings, probably played by mousse t himself. of course the topping is vocalist lee fields whose delivery works better here than in the original. it's probably because the nature of the song and how his vocals stand out on top of the funk which is stripped down to the essentials.
in fact i don't care that this song is just one funky groove. that's how i like it sometimes and so should you. keep it raw and all you need is most music is punchy drums and groovy bass.
