And this was one of the first funk records to come out, of course around this same time James Brown was bringing the funk too, lol. nod

The 1960s was a great period of music innovation. biggrin

A great combination. Jimi also plays one of those licks (1:21) at the end of his version of "Come On".

"Move Over And Let Me Dance" is a bad jam too. Jimi's tone is killin' on that cut.

Wasn't that just hilarious? lol The Isleys were a trip back then: O'Kelly shouting out various soulsters and Ron imitating them, lol. Classic! lol

Dayam! That was a badass cut.

What a great idea to do impressions of other popular artists withiin the framework of the song.

Loved how they even threw a nod to the Beatles around 5:40.

Thanks for posting this awesome find.
