Lalo Shifrin wrote the song “Down Here on the Ground” for the Cool Hand Luke soundtrack. It’s a wonderful song that became something of a soul jazz standard. Notable versions were recorded by Lou Rawls, Grant Green, and many others.
Sun Ra took it to space and back at the Lugano Jazz Festival in 1990. Made it sound like it was written about him!
Here’s the audio track on YouTube, timestamped at the beginning of “Down Here on the Ground.”
Sun Ra plays piano and sings, but it’s the tenor saxophone solo by John Gilmore that really lifts off.
There’s also video on YT of this performance from a German television broadcast.
