The original is Edwin Starr's, from the soundtrack to the 1974 blaxploitation sequel \"Hell Up In Harlem.\" Producer-writer duo Fonce Mizell and Freddie Perren — the same team behind the Jackson 5's early Motown hits — wrote and arranged it.\n\nhttps://www.whosampled.com/Edwin-Starr/Easin%27-In/\nhttps://www.allmusic.com/album/hell-up-in-harlem-original-motion-picture-soundtrack--mw0000001040", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
