Sly & The Family Stone - Thank You for Talkin' to Me Africa

Give thanks. "Thank You for Talkin' to Me Africa" is Sly's junk-influenced remake of his "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)." It's from 1973's There's a Riot Goin' On and is often held up as an example of what the words "deep funk" refer to. How slow can a song be and still make you want to grind?
