[alberts1985]

purple diesel in my assassin

[Dickie9028]

Jazz Fest.......... in the 70's, no other life mattered. 7th Ward Redd was there. All the flavor of my home has died and many have moved on BUT I remember. RIP the BIG EASY.

[MrSmiles4ya]

The people who disliked this hate music and have no souls

[NuttyJon]

[starfalco13]

Man, I've been looking for this for months after buying the Dvd for Jackie Brown

[hotnovel]

my girlfriend dumped me while this was playing, sweet now i'll think of this moment everytime i hear this song. Dickfuckassshit

[mac609]

Okay, I thought I knew every funky song on the planet but I missed this one. I was watching a scene on HBO's The Wire and this song was playing in the backround. I have got to get this as my ringtone!!

[Zepoch1]

THIS WOULD SOUND SO MUCH BETTER IN MONO

[prskid44]

@Zepoch1 why?

[Zepoch1]

@prskid44 Because I'm wearing headphones and almost everything is on the right speaker, with some on the left. It gets kind of irritating, but that's just me

[Zepoch1]

@prskid44 It's still an amazing song either way

[alberts1985]

@Zepoch1 yea buddy!!

[Willemson85]

JACKIE BROWN, NIGGAS!!

[randeezydizzle]

Such a great tune. Heard it on the movie "Red" soundtrack. What a killer mix. Thanks for posting it. I love this tune.

[quikspyda]

The Roots have to play this song on Jimmy Fallon

[Dabhr26]

I remember doing a dance called the "Four Corners" when this song came out, I might have been 13yrs. old!

This is truly "Old School Jazz Funk"

[greenmean1]

6E ACCURIST CHRONOGRAPH ALARM W R 100

[deshun1987]

I am pretty sure when God walks around in heaven this song plays. The coolest tune of all time .

[timmeh064]

A lil' something that gets to me....I'm so freakin' sick & tired of hearing so-called 'jam bands' trying to cover this song!! Trust me, guys - ya just can't cover funk of this magnitude!! :)

[MondoMB83]

Funky like a dirty, two week old wet towel. Shoots you straight in the soul.

[Dactuck]

@MondoMB83 Funky, like toe jam. Es Puro. This is greatness.

[cliffnboyzy]

holy fucking jesus shit my christ all mighty.

[gutogors]

@dme257 ROFL

[techxdabruiser]

@ObeseKings Yeah. "The Coolest", by King Tee on his "Act A Fool" album.

[sweetandy1234]

This reeks of Quentin Tarantino.

[SalientK]

@sweetandy1234 Quentin Tarantino reeks of this.

[PrimusRush311]

MAN! This tune's got a lot of attitood.

[Joelomite]

This song could make ANYBODY look like a badass....as long as you walk slowly and casually while it's playing :-)

[daothaweaponx20]

I remember this song for two reasons...

NBA 2K9

and...

this was the song playing in the background when Omar stuck up Marlo in The Wire :P

[TheBonkersCFC]

The definition of good music

[OriNijm]

the funkiest band without horns I have ever heard of......

[howtoplanaparty]

I tried to learn this off the radio, also "The Horse", to audition for Jackie and her Mojo Men in Washinton DC. But I wasn't ready to be in a band, it was an unrealistic premature hope.

Now I'd like to make an amend to her brother, who drove out to suburbia to carry me to the venue, and back home again, for his gasoline, and his waste of time.

[dnch]

first (and last sadly) melody i learned on guitar

[blueinfiniti22]

[killabreakz]

[TropicalShirtTy]

I want this as my ringtone without the vocal at the beginning

[TheiMcSjoerd]

@TropicalShirtTy download this and then load it in some editing software cut to the part you want it to start just delete the intro piece of cake..

[MyMixdj]

[alberts1985]

[Jesusskin77]

[thereswally1]

[shufx]

Love how the organ is played very lightly in background then just goes off during that funky ryhthm!

[hochtk]

Awesome song

[daverow49]

You 6 dislikers are seriously outnumbered. That means you wouldn't know good music if it was a great white shark and bit your sorry butt! This is the definitive funk groove. Musicians love it. It is very sad that you never will. It is good that there aren't many of you!

[macdog783]

God funken damn!!!!

[ifuckdinosaurs]

This song is used by Chuck Norris when he slowly drives in his sports in his sunglasses down the street

[wave60]

I'm 51 and it took a long search to finally find this gem. I remember playing with my Hot Wheels in the summer of 1969 to this on the radio. Funk at it's best.

[shaydee313]

I've been looking for this song for a long long time. Jackie Brown has an awesome sound track but this is by far my fav song in the movie.

[automatikman365]

Yessir, yessir ... Givin' the drummer some ... And I'm feelin' you, cids84! Stone pimp vibe ...
