쿨 & 더 갱의 싱글이며 이들의 6집 앨범
Spirit of the Boogie의 첫 싱글로 1975년 3월 13일에 발매되었다.
타이트한 기타 연주가 특징인 쿨 & 더 갱 스타일 펑크(Funk) 곡이다. 전반적으로 활기찬 리듬과 격렬한 베이스라인이 곡을 지배하고 있으며, 로널드 벨의 자유분방한 신디사이저도 크게 돋보인다.
B-Side에는 쿨 & 더 갱의 대표곡으로 자리매김한 "Summer Madness"가 차지하고 있다. 감미로운 분위기와 귀를 찌르는 신디사이저가 인상적인
재즈-펑크(Jazz-funk) 스타일의 곡으로, 250개가 넘는 곡에 샘플링되며 현재까지도 그 가치를 널리 인정받고 있다.
