Lyn was known as the female preacher. Part of James Brown's gang. This is one of my other favorites from her.

definitly has that James Brown feel.....with a pinch of Dyke & The Blazers added in

so this morning i,m making a quick grocery run and heard a song on Sirious radio 60,s on 6 by Chubby Checker called Pony Time....and of course it reminded me of the original done by a Soul Singer named Don Covay............its an upbeat , fun and cheerful tune that all you grampas might know....but anyone can enjoy this song...............i think ...

I've heard this song but haven't heard the Chubby Checker remake of it. My favorite part is when the guitar kicks in near the end.

James Mtume had a strong impact on r&b/soul music as an artist and as a producer. Doesn't get mentioned nearly enough on here so appreciate the post.
