A #1 hit for The Ohio Players on the Rhythm & Blues charts. It was the 267th #1 R&B song of the Rock Era. It also hit #15 on the Top 40 charts. Their first big hit.
I heard this on san andreas and thought it was something from the 90's that copied the spinners' rubber band man (the subject matter) but nooope. all original shit. pretty good i might add
sugarfoot"s ohio players tore this song up when they did it when they came here to atlanta,ga as part of the legend of funk tour at the flashback festival in 2009.
This has to be one of the filthiest, sickest funk jams ever! Boundless creativity and vision. Young folks, pay attention but shut up when grown folks are playin!
@chazgraf haha yeah it's fine. Both are great songs from am awesome classic hip hop album. They knew how to sample funk/rock/disco/soul, that's for sure
@TheBobesin Not at all. Frankly, their too busy listening to shit like Lil wayne and other garbage like that! I too am white but i have a eep love for funk music it's sad that black people have become rascit too. When will the world understand that ethnicity means nothing.... ;) just a little peak into my mind, excuse that :D
Junie Morrison IS THE FUNKY WORM!. This brother is the other side of Bernie Worrell. They're like the Sun Ra and the John Coltrane of Funk. Junie CAN PLAY and WRITE $hit from the Cosmos. When Junie played on George Clinton's record Motor Booty Affair, he brought a whole new vibe to the P-Funk sound. This cat is so under-rated and esoteric it's a shame. He's so funkalicious you've just got to see him play. I got to play my guitar with him in Mount Vernon & loved it. He's a nice guy, too.
This impersonator of a grandma is pretty much a comic legend; or, at least, should be one in relation to his performance (and, if applicable, the material provided to him) in this song alone.
Maybe, that was kind of the point back then in that timeframe.
@ philipbourne, I'm from Ohio and have met this keyboardist Billy Beck and you better believe this synthesizer riff from the early 70's is the foundation of a lot of G -Funk we heard such as by Dr. Dre and the likes. They better not dispute because ther is still such a thing as legal recourse ..... OH OH ( that may open up a can of worms ... lol)
