For fans of Parliament/Funkadelic history

While pulling some videos for the Howard Tate R.I.P. thread, I ran across another interesting Jerry Ragovoy connection.

BAGS...



...It's Heavy


Read the description on the YouTube page.

The tune was also recorded on Howard Tate's 1972 release...

...but I prefer the BAGS version.

Wow, I find this song, and the history behind it, to be rather deep!

Glad you enjoyed it.

I talked to Jerry Ragovoy a lot over the years.

Everytime we spoke, i'd have a few new tunes that I found that he had something to do with.

Finding this one reminds me of how much i'll miss those conversations.
