Figure out lead voice on Sly Stone's High on You

Was trying to get this sound the other day. Doesn't seem too tough but I don't feel like I'm getting it right. Anybody out there figured this one out or something in the ball park.
Comes in near the top of the song.

Sounds more like an ARP than a Moog, which could be why you can't quite nail that sound.
Don't forget that EQ and post-processing also come into play here.

Thanks for your insight, I'm not too familiar with the ARP sounds, guess I'll look into it.

Sounds very reminiscent of Billy Preston's work with the Arp Pro Soloist. Shouldn't be too difficult to create a close approximation on a Voyager: Single oscillator into resonant low pass filter. Pro Soloist filter may have been 2 pole (12db/oct) as opposed to Voyager's 4 pole. Add some fast vibrato with the mod wheel and VOILA!
