"Funky Monkey" by Mandrill, from their 1978 "We Are One" album, also on Vinyl 7". Its a damn good track, definitely one of my top faves.
Mandrill is a funk band formed in Brooklyn, New York City in 1968. The band was formed by three brothers: Carlos Wilson (trombone, vocals), Lou Wilson (trumpet, vocals) and Ric Wilson (sax, vocals). The brothers were born in Panama and grew up in the Bedford-Stuyvesant area of Brooklyn. Other members of the band included Bundy Cenac (Bass), Neftali Santiago (drums, percussion, vocals), Juaquin Jessup (lead guitar, percussion, vocals), Charles Padro (drums), Claude 'Coffee' Cave II (keyboards, percussion, vocals) and Fudgy Key (bass) and Omar Mesa (Guitar).

PEOPLE... PPEOPLE. this is the 7" single version. the lp version was at least twicw as long, w/ a killer percussion break that used to be a blackout the floor moment. very big in many underground clubs back then like, garage, loft, clubhouse(dc), catacombs(pa), catch one(la), carousel (md) etc... it would send the floor into a frenzy of dance mania at the time. my bet is it still could. right place, right time.
