I know this song actually from a Madonna concert where she starts another song with it.

I love that version.

Love the positive vibe of this song.

It's really a shame the non-album singles never turned into a new album. IMO, the band was just getting better and better at the time. All 3 songs would be in my top 10 from S&TFS.

To think one of Sly's best compositions relegated to the b-side of "Thank You...".

Greatest Hits was the "new" album.

If we include the latter albums, the only one I don't really dig is Heard Ya Missed Me.

It's a fucking shame, those 3 songs are just maverlous. This song is one of my favorite songs from them, most likely my second favorite. My office mates, they don't speak english they named it the chicken song, because of the chorus.

What is your favourite? I think "Sing A Simple Song" is at the top of my list, or maybe "If You Want Me To Stay".
