September 29, 2016 - Funkadelic - Friday Night, August 14th (1970)


Oh well, it's Thursday, September 29th...no synchronicity. On Friday Night, August 14th lady luck smiled on the narrator. His income tax return came through, and he won money playing 047...lottery? roulette? In any case, the dude is looking good and he is out on the town, ready to spend money on a lady (and himself, too).

Eddie Hazel and Billy Nelson both take lead vocals on this tune. We also have the good fortune of enjoying Eddie Hazel's guitar many times throughout the song, listen to the solo that starts at 2:18. On fire, dude. Bernie Worrell on the organ, excellent as usual. Cool phased drums from Tiki Fulwood near the end.
