    The breakthrough top ten single that became the name of their sophomore album was everywhere in 1968! As well as being the most innovative 'introduce the band' track ever, hearing Larry Graham, Cynthia Robinson, Rosie Stone, Greg Errico, Freddy Stone and Jerry Martini name-checked by Sly is so addictive it might cost the unwary a few days in rehab. As Sly says in the liner notes, his band is 'as funky as nine cans of wet magic shave.' To which Cynthia answers, 'All the squares go home!'"
