Jane Fonda floating around in zero gravity? Vaguely remember it …
So is the Korgis version the original, then?
You made me look it up, now. Close to, but not quite, a Hendrix chord. Apparently needs numerous instruments to put it together properly.
YouTube has age restricted this! In America at least. Go figure.
Sam Cooke and Bobby Womack in the same session. Wow.

Connection: Womack was in Sam Cooke’s backing band and married his widow the year after his death, which caused quite a stir at the time.
