Another track did with Gene. A few of us were in Gladys' rhythm section, playing the Howard when Gene invited us over. There were several tracks if memory serves, that were pumping on DC radio for the longest. Stan Lucas on guitar, Gene on Piano, don't remember the drummer 'cause George didn't want to do it. and me, James Wesly "Jimmy" Smith on bass.
When this record was out (around 1969-1970), and WOL in DC would play it, I'd stop whatever I was doing in jr. high school until it was over!! Man, I would dance SO hard to this, STILL sounds good 4 decades later!! I'd always have to listen to it 3 - 4 times in a row because it's too dag-gone short, otherwise it's the perfect funk record!!
Thanks for posting this! I bought this record when I was a teenager and I still have it. I always thought that it was one of the funkiest records that I had heard at the time. The gruff vocals and the driving beat were spot on, and it sounded like nothing else out at the time. I think that it would have gone national with better airrplay.

Awesome song, thanks for posting! Tweeted and Facebooked. This song should have been a huge hit. It's a Jerry Blavat Philly fav tho.
