Standing On The Verge Of Getting It On

Standing on the Verge of Getting It On is the sixth studio album by Funkadelic, released on Westbound Records, released in July 1974. It is notable for featuring the return of guitarist Eddie Hazel. On this album, the lyrics generally take a backseat to the music and the jamming. It is one of the most popular Funkadelic albums among fans, and highlights the virtuosic guitar of the returning Eddie Hazel, who had departed following 1971's Maggot Brain. Hazel co-wrote all of the album's songs, although the songwriting credits were mostly in the name of Grace Cook, Hazel's mother. Ned Raggett writes in AllMusic that "Jimmy's Got a Little Bit of Bitch in Him" is a "friendly" song about "a gay friend" and notes that this stands in contrast with later negative attitudes towards homosexuality among hip-hop artists who often sampled P-Funk songs.
