Reuben Bell · 1975Recorded in New Orleans in the early 1970s, the track featured soul singer Reuben Bell backed by local session musicians steeped in the city's deep funk tradition. The recording emphasized a hard rhythm section, punchy horn arrangements and dance-floor energy characteristic of regional independent-label productions. Released in 1972, the record was a regional funk success rather than a national chart hit, gaining popularity among DJs and collectors. Its powerful groove and raw production made it a standout example of New Orleans funk from the era. The track became highly sought after by rare-groove enthusiasts and was later discovered by hip-hop producers for its break-heavy arrangement. It remains one of Reuben Bell's best-known recordings and a respected cult favorite among funk collectors.
