this pops up in hip-hop credits all over the place (the GZA: "got lost in the snare off 'Impeach the President'", half the songs on Ice Cube's "The Predator" sample it, etc.), but I have no idea who did the original, who covered it, and which is the most sampled version... anyone know the dirt on this tune?

but who the fuck ARE the Honeydrippers?!? Cuz this *cannot* be the same band as the Robert Plant side-project... (can it)?

Endless list of tunes that sample it two thirds down the page...

a good unfussy breakbeat, used all over the place.... grab it in .wav format from http://www.geocities.com/samplist.geo/ (or pretty much any other breakbeat download site) if you want to hear it, or to be the billionth person to dice it up for their own purposes
