Rahsaan on Jay Leno last night

During Tracy Morgan's appearance on Jay Leno last night, Jay told a funny story about how he used to open for Rahsaan. It's about 26 min. into the show:

RAHSAAN ROLAND KIRK - Primitive Ohio (1969)

"God Loves Black Sound."
--Rahsaan

Rahsaan quote about blindness

"I'm a man, first.  So-called blindness is secondary.  I don't believe that when I pick up an instrument, I'm blind to anyone."

Rahsaan Roland Kirk at the Zoo

"Rahsaan was talking to the lions and the lions were answering back."
                               --Ademola Johnson, Rahsaan's friend in London

Jimi Hendrix quote about Rahsaan

"I like things from Bach to Roland Kirk.  He hasn't even started yet, Roland Kirk....When you hear it, you can hear so much for the future, too.  I mean not necessarily by notes but you can hear it by feelings."

--Jimi Hendrix, NYC, 1968

Roland Kirk - I Talk With The Spirits

I want to know...

What was the song that turned you on to Rahsaan?  For me, it was "The Inflated Tear".  What was it for you?
