    "comment": "Written by Curtis Mayfield, this was part of the soundtrack for the 1975 comedy film of the same name starring Sidney Poitier and Bill Cosby. \n--\nThe song shocked the Staple Singers' gospel fans with its sexual lyrics over a sensual groove - it's pretty obvious what they want to do again. Indeed, Pops Staples had to be persuaded to sing his part. His daughter Mavis recalled in 2016: \"In the studio, Curtis said, 'Pops, this is your part…' And it was (sings) 'I like you lady. So fine with your pretty hair.' And Pops said, 'Curtis, man, I'm not gonna sing that. I'm a church man.' And Curtis said, 'Oh Pops, the Lord won't mind.'\n\nMe and my sisters wanted to hear our voices on the big screen, so we kept at him and said, 'Daddy, it's just a movie score, you're not leaving the church…' And we finally got him to do it.\"\n--\nDid you know that this song has been sampled nearly 50 times?",
