they can put a man on the moon but they cant make a scratch and sniff computer screen. i want t smell the funk!

[RyckyRubio]

nokia commercial led me to this song :)

[postatility]

Who would've thought that,forty years later,this would be featured in a coffee creamer commercial? Anyway---this is one of the all-time soul masterpieces!!

[daverow49]

Classic funk with a tight brass section. It has all the elements to make it a blueprint for newcomers.

[schnellguy]

Use to hear this a lot on KRLA,long time ago.great song.

[bboyjasper]

master sounds:P

[llamadan40]

this song makes me wish I was black so bad.

[peaks4]

@llamadan40 why not wish you were that one white guy?

[llamadan40]

@peaks4 ..because I still wouldn't be able to dance ='(

[DarkManRo]

everything don't mean a thing if it ain't the thing you want! WORD!

[SkaMasta097]

What a funky tune! This was decades before my time, but imagine if they still made music like this today. Does anyone else see how Less Than Jake's "Dopeman" has a similar style to this song? It always seemed to be influenced by 50s-60s R&B/Soul to me.

Thanks Sinbad,

This came out when I was in Jr. High.

I remember the Friday Night Dances at Rancho Arroyo Jr High, and this song was always playing...

Great memories.
