Amen...
...Kickin' ass and tellin' the truth at the same time. What more could you ask for? Well, it's too bad the powers that be didn't wise up when they originally sang this in the mid-70s.

Definately one of my favorite TOP tracks.
Actually, if you can find it, try and track down In The Slot (1975). It's probably their most underated album, and IMO contains some of their tightest grooves. Toejam @ Peach & Black Podcast: http://peachandblack.podbean.com

I've seen it around, on CD and LP, but I haven't gotten around to buying it, mainly due to the absence of Lenny Williams. So, it's great huh?

...these albums that preceded it (when they had their "voice" Lenny Williams). Nothing against In The Slot, it's just that those 3 albums set a standard that's been hard for them to TOP.

It contains their massive 1971 hit "You're Still A Young Man" Also contains the excellent "What Happened To The World That Day",one of my favorite TOP songs. | |
