A good version by Boz Scaggs, with killer guitar by Duane Allman.
The intensity picks up around 4:30, and a bit more around 8:00...

X..the song goes on far too long for me...i like em short and sweet...an intense 2/4 minute is fine by me......kinda like sex ..lol
i,m not sure if i posted this song before, but anyway I heard it on Sirios Radio Soultown this morning and i brought back a memory..a little self indulgent probably
Years ago i was a regular with an Escort named Shaneen..the old veterans here may remember her...she knew i loved Soul music from the 60.s and 70,s and on one visit she surprised me with a homemade CD compilation of songs.....incredibly thoughtful on her part...i was familiar with all the songs except this one..it was new to me....thanks Shaneen you were a real sweetheart...hope she is doing well
It's interesting that many of the soul groups of that era had serious choreography worked out for their live performances.
I believe Motown stressed that even more than most labels, eg. The Miracles, The Four Tops, The Temptations, etc...
Speaking of the Tempts, while I was watching the second episode of "DTF St. Louis" today (pretty good btw),
this song came on the soundtrack:

Choreography?..you want Choreography....well ttis is 10 minutes that i can really handle lol
IMO..Music..I mean music of any kind,simply doesnt get any better than this...the windmill arms toward the end gets to me every time

One of the most important songs to hip hop culture. It provided the backbone to so many rap/hip hop records in the early age and Golden Era. 841 to be precise. Its mainly the drum break but also the horns.
"Apache" Incredible Bongo Band (1973)
The only drum break that I can say I like more than this is "Scorpio" by Dennis Coffey. Starts at 1:15

Damn those clubs must have been jumpin' in the late 70's and early 80's with all that 
"Love is On the One" Xavier
"Love is On the One" Xavier
Another classic breakbeat record from the early 70's. The drums in the first twenty seconds have been sampled so many times in hip hop and r&b music. But the whole song is a journey that needs to be taken. There's so many great elements to this instrumental.

Rewind back to the summer of 1992. I was working a summer job having to wake up at 6:15 am to get in for 7:00 am. Work till 5:00 pm. Making mad bread for a 19 year old. $9.50/hour x 48 hour weeks for 15 weeks from May-August. On my drive in I would blast this 'Don't Sweat the Technique' cassette from start to finish. Unfortunately, this would be Eric B. & Rakim's last LP together. A run of four excellent releases.
This joint was a hidden gem of the album. It was so smooth, Ra's lyricism and flow was almost untouchable. And those are his sisters with the background vocals too.
"Keep the Beat"
The bass sample
"Blacks & Blues" by Bobbi Humphrey
And the drum sample:
"Joy" by Isaac Hayes
