Man ....this is the truth...just listening & doing a lil LIFE work...& this blowing in the backdrop...what ...I thought that was a flute playing..electric piano..synthesizer.Mellotron..­electric bass..handclaps...what.....the­y is doing it

Lyman was a member of The 8th Day. Remember 'The Good Book" and "Cheeba"? An awesome performer on the organ!! Brother Heavy

[loffans]

oh yeah!!!!

[ohbopshbam]

Lyman Woodard-Wurlitzer electric piano, synthesizer, & Mellotron; Ron English-electric bass; Leonard King-drums; handclaps from the band members. The original fidelity at the initial sessions for this recording were improved over the final product--just a couple of margins better. However, I, the drummer on this session, still view it as a valid product, and it still amazes me almost 40 years later that newer generations love this record. Thank you very much!!

Saturday night specials were cheap hand guns sold dirt cheap, usually so someone could go kill someone else in an argument.. that's why they WERE outlawed till the fucking pukes made every night a saturday night... lost nation kids.

Sorry to here he has passed. My friends and I would go and see him at Cass back in the late 70's. Many good times there.

[Mscleotoo]

@dtreeguy I remember Alvin's on Cass Avenue on Sunday afternoons. I also remember Lymon. The Best! RIP

The Break is Almighty...

[pepsipoptarts]

The sound of Detroit when it was the purest most ahead music on Earth.

[nocturne1105]

Raven Arms?

[FlamingLavaOwl]

@nocturne1105 not sure what that is, looks cool but probably a piece of crap.

WHOA to the person below me, I didnt read the full comment and just assumed you wanted to know it the song had been sampled...FAIL on my end.

[sebasisdabest]

no sweat, im assuming it wasnt used in a movie but i thought it sounded familiar.

however that MF DOOM sample sounds interesting, ill check it out. thanks

[sebasisdabest]

has this song been used in any movie?

[Ologyst504]

Matter of fact it has...It was sampled by MF DOOM for his second Viktor Vaughn album Venomous Villan between 3:13-3:17 I think its track 1 on the disc.

[DonElgazo]

Solo bass at 3:00 it's very cool ...

[WeedVulva]

[bluesborn]

That analog sound is sweet=the sound of cherry red power tubes ready to melt.

[radmason]
