Eddie Harris was an American jazz musician, best known for playing
tenor saxophone and for introducing the electrically amplified
saxophone. During his career he recorded over 50 albums, mixing jazz
with funk which resulted in Grammy Award nominations for two of his
albums. The 1983 People Get Funny... recording contains the title track
"People Get Funny When They Get a Little Money" and "La Carnival", which
are sublime examples of his jazz-funk style accompanied by vocals and
scatting.
