Try this one on for size.A super-group featuring none other than ex-Beatle George Harrison on lead guitar; Billy Preston on organ; Niky Hopkins (Rolling Stones, The Who, The Kinks, Jeff Beck Group, et al) on piano; THE Carole King on electric piano; and backing vocals featuring the trio of Darlene Love, Ronnie Spector, and ex-Mama Michelle Philips. A pretty heavy line-up to say the least.
And what particular song did these folks all collaborate on? None other than Cheech and Chong's "Basketball Jones" (*as featured on their 1973 album Los Cochinos). Lead vocals on the song were, of course, provided by Cheech Marin - - in character as Tyrone Shoelaces.
If you think that's far out - - check out the animated video short on You.Tube. It's like "Schoolhouse Rock" on drugs. Killer.
