Misdemeanor By The Sylvers
http://www.zshare.net/audio/754851424e478c56/
First time I heard this i assumed it was just some random Jackson 5 song I missed. I was wrong. It’s the Sylvers and , as you cans ee from the album cover i posted above, it’s a fair guess that the Jackson 5 was heavy on their minds when they made this song.
This is a song that more then a few people have sampled. My personal favorite would be “Funky enough” by The D.O.C.

i may have gotten it off of T.R.O.Y. I dont remember really
Ahmad Jamal is vish though.
oh snap. I totally know that song. I never put two and two together and realized it was a cover. durrrrr on my part.
been meaning to ask you…. asides from hip-hop and some of the soul/motown stuff you’ve been posting…. do you listen to any rock? any of the obvious “classic rock” bands? could see you answering either way…. more inclined to think that shit wouldn’t float your fancy
I’ve never been much of a rock guy. there are songs i love in that genre but , overall, it’s never been my thing. I’m very particular abut singing voices i like and a lot of rock singers have a certain type of inflection i’m not very fond of.
fuck e-z!!! grr
