Taj Mahal
Henry St. Claire Fredericks Jr. (born May 17, 1942), better known by his stage name Taj Mahal, is an American blues musician. He plays the guitar, piano, banjo, harmonica, and many other instruments, often incorporating elements of world music into his work. Mahal has done much to reshape the definition and scope of blues music over the course of his more than 50-year career by fusing it with nontraditional forms, including sounds from the Caribbean, Africa, India, Hawaii, and the South Pacific.

i love this song, and the soundtrack as a matter of fact. one of my favorite parts is hearing Joe Morton sing at the end of the song and then later in the Eryka Badu song- Funky Nassau

Well I may be a softcore athiest... but I think booty shakin music is divine.
