Mayfield then shouts out to the audience with a large echo overdub, saying "Don't worry, If there's a Hell below, we're all gonna go!" followed by a scream. The song then breaks out with a heavy fuzz bass, Latin percussion, wah-wah guitar and strings. Albums The song is performed live on the album Curtis/Live! (1971) and Live in Europe (1987).
