sometimes we all need a reality check when it comes to the word 'funk'. Like 'love', it's used to describe something that isn't really/truly there - when you hit the 'lickin' stick' then you truly know what 'the funk' is. All pretenders please go to the back of the line!.

I agree is it's certainly similarto Licking Stick but what it's really identical to is Sly's Sing a Simple Song bassline.

Actually if you take the bass breakdown at 2:18 of Stand

and combine that passage with the Sing a Simple Song you can create something very similar to the Licking Stick bassline.

Since Licking Stick and the Sly tunes came out in 1968 we don't know who might have been copying from who. The Band of Gypsys band was a year later so we can safely say that Cox was paying homage to Larry Graham and Tim Drummond.
