This is what you get when you combine gospel and funk...... Billy was from the church and it shows. This is one baddass clip. I wish I could find this on DVD!

@use2slam2: It has to be George and Louis Johnson because that's who they started with before hooking up with Quincy Jones, backing him up. Hence the A&M Records hookup (Billy and Q).

I wore this 45 out -- and my brother finished the job... couldn't play it anymore!

God f*cking dammit! WOW! That's my review.
The thing I love about Billy is that he had his own sound. Where it's easy to confuse a Smith with a McGriff, and a DeFrancesco, it's not hard to tell Billys sound from anyone else, a true one off.

Thanks Clavdig, this is, to my taste, the thightest and best version of this piece of raw enrgy ( even though I wish it went for longer )

Cool, do you like the organ version over the clavinet? I think I do for it's raw energy pulsating from everyone!
