MY GORILLA IS MY BUTLER


MY GORILLA IS MY BUTLER by Sly and the Family Stone.

This one is worth hearing because (a) you couldn't have heard it a week before (see Monday's post) and (b) it's called My Gorilla Is My Butler. What more do you want? In fairness, those are probably the best two things about it. The sound marks it as being from the "Riot" sessions, but there's very little of the energy, tension, or inventiveness of the stuff that made the final cut.

LISTEN.
