It was already an oldie when I remember my parents blasting it on the record player as a .45 single. They had stacks and stacks of those things, they played all the old R&B favorites back then.

There is a bit of bragging in the song about our Universal health care system but other then that it's pretty cool. If someone would do me a favor and post a youtube video of the song and post it here it would be appreciated. Cheers and happy Mothers day!
