Question about a particular 1970s funk song....

Yesterday, on the radio, during the lunchtime oldies hour, I heard a funk song, apparantly from the 1970s, that I had never heard before. It was a song about King Kong and every now and then, the singer would break out into a silly type "ru ru ru" (like he was immitating King Kong).

Anybody familiar with this one? What's the title and artist?

Could it be "King Kong" by Jimmy Castor?

Can't see the clip y'all but I bet it is Jimmy Castor because I've heard one of their other songs and the voice sounds like it. It definately had to be titled King Kong because the name kept coming up in the song.

Thanks.
