    Not hating on Spanky's take on this in the least, but I'm feeling Rotary Connection's version more. Actually, all the cover versions on this album are

    Eddie Haddad "People Get Ready" (MGM, 45)

    Both Charles Kynard's and Paragons' versions of "World Is A Ghetto".

    Those Los Angeles high school versions of "We Got More Soul" and "Burning Spear" I posted a while back are rocking my world

    Dayton Sidewinders - Slippin into Darkness I don't even care for War's version of this song.

    a great track to sing while twisted
