Black & Beautiful -- Soul & Madness
CD (Item 500409) Jihad/Son Boy, Late 60s -- Condition: New Copy
An incredible relic of the righteous underground of the late 60s from the Spirit House Movers -- and one of the few classic albums on the Jihad label! The group was a vocal group of sorts -- sometimes singing, sometimes rapping in a Last Poets-styled way -- often doing both at the same time, in a mode that was really compelling and extremely powerful! Fronted by Leroi Jones, actually Amiri Baraka, on the first word music record he ever did that was completely devoted to the style. His spoken words are the lead instrument, and he's accompanied by a great group of singers -- including Freedy Johnson, Leonard Cathcart, Aireen Eternal, Gilbert Monk and Yusef Iman -- and some spare percussion. Titles include "Mishap", "Beautiful Black Women", "Miss Natural Soul", "Form Is Emptiness", "Nineteen Sixty Something", and "Unity". © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc. | ||||||
