Takes me back to the day when there was a message in every other song I heard on black radio and even early low-frequency FM stations. (not junk like today)
here's the first song I ever heard from Gil, 73 or so in the summer, 13 yeas old in Echo Park, music was right back then, many thanks to Gil, I miss that stuff
I love this song... this album...this man. He was a preeminent vocalist, poet and story teller. Then when he teamed with Brian, they were magnificent!!! I am grateful to have had the opportunity to meet him and to see him perform when he was at the top of his game!
@heaven17 Thats funny-Im playing the live version on my jazz show NOW and its SMOKING!!!!! I love the original but you're on to something.....I think I prefer the live version!
RIGHT ON! RIGHT ON! RIGHT ON! RIGHT ON! Keep it strong, Keep it right never say never forward Blk people forward forward, NVER NEVER NEVER FORGET THESE WORDS
