This version has a different mix from the original. Is it from the alternate mix album that was accidentally released? This version has a more prominent wah wah guitar mix. A grittier kind of funk from the " Albert Einstein " of funk.

This is my favorite Sly and the Family Stone song, and that says a lot because this man had a plethora of quality jams. Interesting that it is Rusty Allen (or maybe Sly) and not Larry Graham doing the bass line as had left the Family already.

I think this is the only song of theirs that I know. Reminds me of my childhood.
