Ernie Hines

[2] While living in Baton Rouge, Hines was invited by Roscoe Robinson to travel to Chicago, where Hines cut four tracks, intended for New York City based Scepter/Wand Records, the label with which Roscoe Robinson had recently had a national hit with "That's Enough".

His first single on the Stax label was his own composition "Help Me Put out the Flame", featuring Hines on guitar as well as lead vocals.

The Electrified album has received cult following since the 1990s,[citation needed] and in 2010, it was made available again in CD format by the UK re-release company, Ace Records, on its BGP (Beat Goes Public) label.

With back-catalog reissues still reaping beaucoup dollars for the music industry and with the help of further promotion from John Legend and the Roots covering "Our Generation" in 2010, the perfect storm was created to take another look.

Most notably, the chorus in "Our Generation" was sampled by hip-hop duo Pete Rock & CL Smooth on their top-charting single "Straighten It Out," from their 1992 album, Mecca and the Soul Brother.
