Sweet Charles Sherrell co-wrote this superb 1975 funk anthem with James Brown, who also produced the track. It was co-arranged by Brown and Fred Wesley, and released on Brown's label People Records.

UPDATE 3/30/23: We received the sad news last night that Charles Sherrell had passed away in the Netherlands, where he had been living, exactly three weeks after his 80th birthday. His final message to the world was shared on his Facebook page.

The song's chorus "Hang out and hustle with my friends" was fitting, because Sherrell's career was full of legendary connections. "Sweet" Charles Sherrell drummed with Jimi Hendrix, was taught guitar by Curtis Mayfield and played bass on many James Brown classics as a member of the J.B.'s.

R.I.P. Charles Sherrell (March 8, 1943 – March 29, 2023)
