Album Notes & Community Reviews

For his debut album as a leader, the highly respected arranger and session musician combined deep gospel roots with complex, jazz-inflected Chicago soul. Featuring the socially conscious anthem 'The Ghetto', the record highlighted his astonishingly emotive vocal delivery and set a profound, spiritually grounded template for early 1970s R&B.
