[@gijsschubert7901]

Oooo I love this song since I first heard it back in 1977. That Moog bass synthesizer, very tight drums & horns, great singing, "ain't that go", very clear distinct guitar sound in a great solo. It's just a PERFECT song. Rest in Peace Johnny, you tought us what real funk is! Right-on bro 👍

Real Music ✨️🎶

[@williewade1]

I had the pleasure of meeting gentleman in 1994. Stood and talked with him for almost an hour. Truly a nice guy and one of the coolest people ever, AND, the absolute greatest bluesman to ever do it, bar NONE.

[@geraldojunior7467]

A real funk

[@lathantate2577]

This so reminds me growing up in the 70's summertime. Window open fresh air clean house and music blaring down the street!!!!!!

[@ivanpenaluna275]

'Gimme 3 gallons of low lead... can't afford nuttin else... 2 hot dogs and a strawberry soda..'

[@waynetaylor7570]

My pops would jam this all the time

[@DavidGenesisPedeglorio]

He's also the man behind creating an innovative riff in 1954! Yet, in '77, he still got that creative juices!

[@cemonkey1]

Heard this only once in a German disco in 1978 - never paid much attention to the lyrics but the riff stuck in my head. First time I've heard it since.

[@FUNKYSTATORS]

Legend 4 ever 🥰👌🤘🤩🌹✨🍀👍

[@keeslubberding471]

Lovely🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@62keithmoon]

So groovy....the masterpiece of groovy and cool music

[@Markjohnson-vw4en]

I remember 1st listening to this song in my Ford Mavrick (the car; NOT the pickup), on a slide-in Radio Shack 8-track tape player. I think I was in line at a FotoMat, too.. That's going back a "few" years. (decades!)😅

[@CourtneyFrank-n6e]

I make my own hits and this is one,since I was fifteen years old.

[@Ashfaq1999]

A real classic for ya !! 👌💯

[@michaelk2276]

Saw his concert in April 1988 in Heidelberg Germany - in der Aula Im Neuenheimer Feld!

[@robertharding8394]

I remember rolling around in my 74 lincoln town car playing this

[@wompswag9532]

The zoom to the trombonist is so hilarious.

[@donnamcrae2094]

This REAL MUSIC

[@KennethDawson-zv8rn]

He is a good God! Are we clear! These are true facts!

[@soundcheck734]

Giving thought to the instrumentation available in 1977, and I had no real concept how to play any real instruments back then, I'm loving that keyboard sound even better in the 2024 than I ever appreciated back when the song orginally came out. I'm thinking it was the beginning of the bass synthesizer that catapulted Bernie Worell to his success and others in the R&B world

[@Marco-AurelioHernandez]

I gotta hear that 'gimme two hotdogs and a strawberry soda' at the end. If not, I didn't hear the song.
