It's the favourite album of all DJs at university town hip-hop club nights in 2002, but what's the best track on it?

I'm not going to pretend I know them all, but Eddie Bo's "Check Your Bucket" is a delight. See also Wilbert Harrison's "Get It While You Can", which I've often bunged next to the Eddie Bo on mix CDs; they fit together well.

Voted for Lee Dorsey, Love Lots of Loving. Would have loved lots more to have voted for Dorsey's version of Get Out Of My Life Woman. It's >>>> the Toussaint version.
