The Outlaw Blues Band – Deep Gully
From the counter

Before De La Soul built an opener on it, The Outlaw Blues Band had "Deep Gully" on wax in 1969, written by Lawrence Dickens, who now shares the credit on "Intro" with the group. Breakestra thought enough of it to cut their own version decades later, which tells you the groove travels.
