I would often start a set with Wild Cherry's version of "I feel Sanctified", and mix it into the Live version on this album, let the live version of "Brick House" go, and then mix in the studio version, I loved doing that set, kids would go crazy! "Zoom" and "Easy" were also common slow dance favorites
