This song has a few too many random grunts for my taste but musically it reminds me of Jamaican reggae records from about the same period.
King Floyd (1945-2006) was from New Orleans. He was working in the post office when he recorded "Groove Me". Originally intended as the B-side of a single, it reached #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and sold over a million copies. Floyd then quit his post office job.
His followup, "Baby Let Me Kiss You", reached #29 on the Hot 100 but only #69 in Canada; it didn't get airplay in Toronto. Floyd continued releasing singles until 1977 but didn't match his previous success. He fell out of favour when disco took over the airwaves.
