Archie Bell & The Drells - Tighten Up

I don't personally own this record but I wish I did. I consider Tighten Up as the beginning of the modern dance music era. The catchy, upbeat bassline, the great drums, those laid back horns, the bouncy guitar riff that comes in and out and lastly, who can forget Archie Bell MCing his own personal message to the audience. Originally written as a pick me up after Archie got drafted to go to Vietnam in 1967, I think nobody can deny the huge influence this track has made on modern music. 40 plus years on, Tighten Up still rocks my world.
