@spotremovers Hey I still remember Johnny Carsons intro of Eddie, and Carson actually said "I asked someone earlier where's Eddie and they said Eddie's Eating". So I thought that was Eddies full name like Eddie Eaton, so for years I could not find this song. I had the wrong name. But Eddie made this song funnier on Carson, as he did all of the voices of people saying "That's why". It was very funny, and he absolutely killed Carson! Johnny was laughing harder than anyone!
Thanks for this. I love it! I have the original vinyl. Eddie Harris was one of the greatest musicians, a serious musician's musician. This song is kind of a joke but still fantastic.
That eerie sound at the beginning is an thing called a "guitorgan". The lyric is tongue and cheek and the music is incredible.

@orenico96 I agree with you...Eddie's musicianship and soul always shines through. I could easily imagine Sly Stone doing this.
