Bootsy Collins - "I'd Rather be with You" (live 1976)

This is a hip song from a man (b. 1951) that spanned (almost) everything (from James Brown to P-Funk). I have long been a fan of this song but only knew it under another, less loving, identity. It was on a cassette tape that I got from a friend when I was an adolescent.

Note. It is my opinion that this song, produced by Dr. Dre (b. 1965), begins the G-Funk era. The song also illustrates the distinctiveness of west coast rap, especially under the G-Funk influence, it is as if the music of their parents was being re-enacted with an updated attitude.
