I grew up on this record, love it, heard it a million times.... but I have one little problem with this version: It's too fast. Did you change the speed/pitch on purpose? This sounds like close to Db, however the original is a bit slower in C. Check the speed on your turntable:)

Memphis Underground is a 1969 album by jazz flautist Herbie Mann, that attempts to fuse the genres of Jazz and Rhythm & Blues (R&B). While Mann and the other principal soloists (Roy Ayers, Larry Coryell and Sonny Sharrock) were leading jazz musicians, the album was recorded in Chips Moman's American Studios in Memphis, a studio used by many well-known R&B and pop artists. The rhythm section was the house band at American Studios. The recording was engineered and produced by Tom Dowd.

i prefer the sped up version. Makes it all the more funky. Awesome tune!

this cut, from that fabulous album circa 1970, is just plain erotic. No other word suits. Open a window. It's gettin' hot in here.

What an awesome musician, I just picked up his greatest hits record at a vinyl shop for 3 bucks and I have had it on table for 2 days....hope I don't wear it out! (I'd probably burn the needle out first) :)

me gusto mucho esta canción, pero no se por que me atrajo mas la versión de Harry j.j. all stars, la siento aun mas instrumental y con mas energía de tocar, se que este es el autor original, pero es mi opinión, y también se que este fue el creador de la canción aunque los jamaiquinos dan de que hablar :D

Jazz, rock or pop, one of the best songs ever....especially like the vibes from 4:12 to 5:22....

Excellent performer! Music like this has opened the gates of Jazz to the rock generations of the 60's.
