It's A Mother (LP)

It’s a Mother, released in August 1969, goes far beyond soul: it anticipates the deeper funk to come. It features the monster two-part single, “Mother Popcorn,” a #1 R&B and #11 Pop hit and one of the last of the classic Pee Wee Ellis arrangements for James Brown.  The instrumental track "Popcorn with a Feeling" has been sampled by Brand Nubian, Super Cat, Heavy D, and The Convicts. Other tracks have been sampled by De La Soul, Doug E Fresh, and Prince.  Tracklist: A1        Mother Popcorn (Part 1)     A2        Mother Popcorn (Part 2)     A3        Mashed Potato Popcorn (Part 1)     A4        Mashed Potato Popcorn (Part 2)    A5        I'm Shook     A6        Popcorn With A Feeling (Instrumental)     B1        The Little Groove Maker Me (Part 1)     B2        The Little Groove Maker Me (Part 2)     B3        Any Day Now     B4        If I Ruled The World     B5        You're Still Out Of Sight     B6        Top Of The Stack (Instrumental)
