- Elephant's Foot
Wow! killing the day not knowing what to do
i'm gonna get my friend and go to the zoo
we didn't see an elephant or cage
someone had put them all on the stage
There were lones and bones and all kinds of grhymes
you know those elephants wouldn't stay in line
I said: I know just what they need
- Let's Get It On
I've been really tryin', baby
Tryin' to hold back this feeling for so long
And if you feel like I feel, baby
Then, c'mon, oh, c'mon
Let's get it on
Ah, baby, let's get it on
Let's love, baby
- Shake Everything You've Got
A scorching album of funky grooves from Maceo Parker, assisted by the rest of the JB's on backing horns. The album was recorded in concert at a club called Stadtgarten in Cologne, Germany, and the crowd seems just as responsive in most ways as any Atlanta mob. Along with the JB horns, Vincent Henry accompanies on bass throughout the album/concert. The album starts out with an original Maceo composition, then moves into a pair from his old boss James Brown. After that, there's another Maceo number, a cover of "Addictive Love," a rendition of "Georgia on My Mind," and a composition undertaken by a veritable army of funk veterans. This is probably just about the best solo Maceo Parker album there is, at least until the release of Funkoverload. If you're a funk fan, or a soul-jazz fan, this album might just provide what you need. Maceo on his own always provides a nice collection of soul and funk, and this one is no exception.
- Tell Me Something Good
You ain't got no kind of feeling inside ya
I got something that will sure 'nuff set your stuff on fire
You refuse to put anything before your pride babe
What I got to give will knock all your pride aside
Tell me something good
Tell me that you love me
Tell me something good
