The reverse of the Isley Bro's smash hit, this is as funky as funk can get. Marva Whitney was discovered by James Brown and this album is produced by him. Enjoy this funky soul!
I believe it was the summer of 1969. I had just turned 7. I was living in North Philly at 21st&Venango. A friend of my mother's lived on the 3500 block of North Gratz between Venango and Atlantic. One particular Saturday Gratz Street was closed off for a block Party and I remember all of us children dancing in the middle of the street to this song. Great post!!
@debgirl12000 If you're gonna be in NYC anytime on a Thursday,you'll hear this joint at Tools of War where real Hip Hop culture'll be there alive and kickin' as usual.
@oldschoolbx1970 >I have not heard this since 1975! LOL! One of the best songs! I am remembering house party's in NYC and Long Island and hanging out with my friends and boyfriend back in the 70's! LOL! Memories! James Brown discovered so many talented people and their songs live on! I tell my children today that they do not know what real music is until they hear James Brown, Marva Whitney, Lyn Collins and Bobby Byrd! Thanks for reminding us that this was the answer to the Islay Brothers jam!
