Stomping Boogaloo soul jazz. This is the second Sugarman 3 album from Desco Records. This album starts and ends with two of the coolest songs ever. The breakbeat of the title track gets things going and the album ends with So Long Donkey, a blues flavored funk ballad. The songs in the middle are good too, including covers of James Brown's Out A Sight and Lou Donaldson's Hot Dog.
