This was a big hit for Byrd. When he did this LIVE back on the JB Shows back then the crowds went crazy. One time in Orlando he jumped off the stage & the place went beserk cause the FUNK was jammin.
...and recorded the original demo of "Mother Popcorn" (unreleased until the "Motherlode" compilation in 1988) over this very track.
JB often recycled instrumental tracks during his late perod King-early Polydor period (1967-75) for other releases (for instance, there is a Marva Whitney single that uses the same instrumental track).
Straight up gangsta.

James Brown also did this tune on the "There It Is" LP.
