Bobby Womack, hands down, in my my book.The OG is sweet but Bobby KILLS it.

    I knew this one was coming

    The Four Tops (don't sleep!) and Eddie Hazel, of course.

    Harvey Farquart Explosion (or something like that) 45 on Peon Productions.
    Somewhat messy stoner funk/psych.

    Haven't played it in a while, may have to throw it on tonight.

    Dunno, the version by itself is not that bad, but I thought the whole medley thing with "I Bet You" was kinda strange.

    True... I just enjoyed the CD part.

    Yes, I wanted to leave this one for the rest of you. A fave of mine as well.

    This is another one with no bad versions.

    Mamas And The Papas
    Baby Huey

    I think Command or Project 3 has some nice versions.
