Let's do the "Tighten Up"! Hi everybody. I'm Archie Bell and the Drells from Houston, Texas. 
Love this classic cut from Archie Bell and the Drells. It's so tight. It's even got a little soul clapping going on.
Anyway, the reason I want to shout this one out is because I caught Prince on Leno last night. My favorite part of the performance was when he and his band sampled "Tighten Up." Now that's representin'!  [This message was edited Fri Feb 27 7:19:33 2004 by UptownDeb] | |

 I remember on the Act 1 tour,Prince used to mix this song into the second half of "The Continental". | |
