Album Notes & Community Reviews
Returning to the legendary Harlem venue five years after his groundbreaking initial volume, this expansive double album captures the Godfather of Soul during his definitive transition into pure rhythm-driven music. Accompanied by a tightly disciplined orchestra, the extended, relentlessly grooving medleys showcase the visceral power of his evolving percussive vocal style. The recording serves as a foundational text for the imminent explosion of the funk genre.
