Grazing in the Grass is a Gas.....

Name that tune:_________________
 
It's time to celebrate the founding fathers of music that makes me ask: CAN YOU DIG IT?!
 
For this I must direct you to the Periodic Table of Funk. No it's not the scientific catergorization of odor, it's the specific classification of soulful, "I HEAR YOU, BROTHER!!! CAN I GET AN AMEN?!?!?" music!
 
Hey speaking of slang (and no we weren't speaking of it I just wanted to change the subject), don't you love how back in the 60's they used phrases like:  DIG IT....IT'S A GAS... etc etc.
 
What's your favorite phrase, from any given era?
 
For today's musical selection I have what was meant to be "gasoline for the Classical guitar", hence it's often times mistaken name, "Classical Gas"- Mason Williams
 
Being that it's FUNK FRIDAY, let's hear from the King of Soul, James Brown.
