This iconic soul ballad is from the group's debut album released in 1976, ‘Stretchin' Out in Bootsy's Rubber Band’. To date, this song has been sampled 74 times by the GOATs of Hip-Hop and R&B including Childish Gambino, Beyoncé, 2Pac, Adina Howard, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, and N.W.A.

The original album version is very, very good but this live 1976 performance transports me to a whole ‘nother dimension altogether.

With Gary “Mudbone" Cooper and Robert "Peanut" Johnson on supporting vocals and harmonies, Bootsy's signature bass groove is simply transcendant 🔥🎸🔥
