Wonderful. Baudolino, at first I was worried that my version was the original, but was relieved to find out it wasn't. Ernie Isley's 1990 album >High Wire is worth checking out.

Love the track, but I must be confused.

I believe back in the day we would have called this Soul (as in Soul Train), not funk.

Am I just clueless, or can someone please point out the finer points of distinction between R&B, Soul, & Funk?

Let me try. R&B includes basically all working-class black dance music going back from the present all the way to World War II, when it stopped being called race records. The term soul music got popular in the early and mid 1960s when many r&b singers started trying to outdo each other as far as emoting. Funk got popular when black acts using James Brown's intricately syncopated Africanised rhythms as inspiration in the late 1960s and 1970s.

I love this song.

sounds about right spike i love this version i do not even know if i have heard the other one damnit oh yeah i'll lead.....
