The baseline on Groove Is In The Heart

[Rabshakeh]

It is a sample! Of Ron Carter! Not Bootsy Collins at all! And it is from the Herbie Hancock soundtrack to Blow-Up!.

I feel like my whole life up to now has been a lie. 

It does raise the big question though how something from a 1966 jazz album, coming years before James Brown or Miles' 'invention' of fusion, manages to be so impossibly, Bristol-student-union-in-1995 level funky.

Oh. I didn't know that. I thought it was later. That clears that up too, then.

This, of course has now got me singing Groove Is In The Heart. To myself, thankfully for my companions

"Cold Sweat" was early 1967.

That was another explosion.

Pass it on. It is like the Ring virus. It is the only way to save yourself.

"Out of Sight" from 1964 was already at least a mini explosion.
