the watts 103rd St. rhythm band - express yourself
I'm not really doing anybody any favors here, this song has been used in lots of movies. Just trying to get into the action I suppose, hoping some of the cool will rub off. If I was at home, I'd play the album, but I'm not. Maybe next year.
This song was recalled to my attention by its use in a commercial on Asian cable TV. They used a sound-alike, by the way, which begs the question: could they not obtain the rights to the original, or did they re-record it so save money?

Reduced to putting in my own comments, but it does dress up the blog, doesn't it?
