Although this song was not "hit" on the charts, it perfectly illustrates what the funk and soul scene was about and why scenes such as the disco scene was influenced by this musical tradition. The funk and soul scene embodied having a good time and enjoying yourself at the club. With lines such as, "The joint be jumpin', the mamas be humpin', while the band be bumpin," it is no wonder why this song was popular on the dance floor, although it may not have been on the charts.
