What a classic hiphop breakbeat. The whole song is dope, the chants, hot-ass saxophone is kiiilllin'! I think the chant on MJ "Wanna Be Startin Somethin'" is probably derived from this song, as a chant in a disco sort of format. Man, it's soul, world, disco, funky, all that shit.

I'm not familiar with that material.. is it like a rendition of Stevie Wonder's "Superwoman" from 1972?

No,it´s not the Stevie Wonder song,it´s a bit in the
same flavour of "Funky Nassau" but it´s even funkier
& more energetic.They only did 2 albums.This album
was released in 1976 & is selftitled.Appearently it´s
extremely rare 'cause when I looked 4 it on the internet
most sites don´t even know it exist.I just found 1 site
that said they actually did 2 albums.It´s a shame.
They should release both of them on cd since the whole
albums R great.
