Low Rider by War is a classic (1976). So is Good Times by Chic (1979), which was copied in Rappers Delight by the Sugarhill Gang (1979).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13205444.post-76483410577545153942007-02-21T21:22:00.000-05:002007-02-21T21:22:00.000-05:00Lex -- Sure, I think Duff can play.
