[Mike Blakesley]

The opening track on this album is one of the best singles of the '70s. The flip side was "Get The Funk Out Ma Face" (there is no "of" in the title) which became a favorite in its own right and still gets airplay on the XM 70s channel - I heard it yesterday, in fact.

The rest of the album must have been forgettable because I can't remember a thing about it.

Their best song ever would be later on -- "Strawberry Letter #23."
