  • Ya gotta love Sammy, trying to bring vaudeville and lounge into funk and pulling it off only because he's so damn loveable.

  • @charliekkendo lol I love this comment!!! I love this record. It's just fun. It found Sammy at a weird moment but it works for me.

  • Black private dick?? BTW what happened to the best line of all......"That cat Shaft is a bad mother.."shut yo mouth"

  • @2c1496 "BPD" mean a Black Private detective.

  • Interesting, when Isaac Hayes passed away, the first thing I thought of was Sammy's version of Shaft. Thanks for putting out here.

  • I got the live version. It is funny when he improvises with lines like Shaft is the man. 

  • I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I have this on an 8 track tape...and it sounds GREAT!

  • (Mouth gaped open)....I love you, Sam!

  • No way, the guitar is so funky on this Eddie Van Halen was blown away...wow

  • GREAT SAMMY !

  • @2c1496 Sammy was one of the rare artists that could take a song and make it his own.

  • great song, but his best song on the LP was " i want to be happy". way.......cooler....

  • What kind of moron could dislike this?

    

  • MR. SHOW MAN.
