[dreday99]

"Always/ promises thomases/ but he can't buy toast" Kane slayed this beat!

[chrisevilmonkey]

[sideburnstijger]

If only Lanegan would cover this song, would be so rad.

[78MamaKat]

Count Mackula!

[solardogg25]

[ROMAJAM]

[October33rd]

Nice. Sounds like Al Green

[SDSOverfiend]

@October33rd - Prince Amongst Thieves is the name.

[dniez1]

Prince Paul's Solo LP, can't come up with the name right now...

- 2 years later, still looking on google/allmusic?

[emceeschwartz]

macula he done struck again

[jiveAt5]

prince paul chopped this one up really nice

[umbertoghetto]

this song has also been sampled by austrian instrumental hiphop producers URBS & CHAOS 1997 "closer to god"

[resus80]

urbs&cuttex that is!

[CloudyDaze420]

Ah man that's too dope. Macula's Theory.

[kudabeen]

I have to dig and get this man's work...Sly Johnson is really speaking to me right now...Soullelujah!

[TraneOfThought]

The album is called "Music to My Ears"

[jazzygc]

That was the Hi Rhythm Section that backed up Al Green.

Label Hi Records

Produced by Willie Mitchell

Year Issued 1973

[jazzygc]

Syl had a few albums with Hi and this song was a hidden gem with the Hi Rhythm Section in full effect.

[chylogurti]

Fantastic soulful ballad. He never got the big breaks, but he is revered in soul circles. Quality track

[maleen79]

prince paul used it on "macula's theory" from the "prince among thieves" album. it wa also used by the aphrodelics and a few others.

[EMETATHE4x4]

Prince Paul used this that "prince among thieves album i think? Masta Ace and breezy Brewin was on it!

[DuttBeezy]

it was used on Macula's Theory, and it was Big Daddy Kane rhymin on it, and it was/is dope as fuck....

[ruffdimuff]

is this al greens band?

[chylogurti]

All Hi records session players, I think

[Imakebeats65]

Of course the production is INCREDIBLE but you need the singers to pull it off and he had them... Syl is the Man right there with Jerry butler and the rest...

[djodysey]

a prince amongst thieves...dope album...

[FEEVA203]

Prince Paul sampled this too.

[TheElementBeatz]

Masta Ace-Alphabet Soup

I just made the mistake of noticing that til i sampled the song..

[TheElementBeatz]

Masta Ace-Alphabet Soup

I just sampled this...and it sounded EXACTLY the same...Oops on my part for not noticing..

[konvince]

[admanphoto]

Syl Johnson, Al Green, O V Wright, Ann Peebles. Love 'em all. God bless Willie Mitchell and the Hi label

[megahouse215]

[weztechnologies]

the great undiscovered syl, one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard

[yardmarley]

This was on Prince Paul..Count Mackula..Big Daddy Kane..

[jolvera24]

I only got into this guy's music recently after hearing a song of his on the boondocks series but it seems to me he is one of the most underrated singers of the seventies era of r and b

[maileabrilvalnatalie]

U guys know that this is the singer syleena johnson Dad...

[joko9395]

yep

[ZhenyaYufanov]

Great song! Has so much Al Green flow, i mean the whole thing! Any info on musicians and producers? Thanks a lot!

[soulmusic247]

so true. It has a Al Green "Jesus is Waiting" Flow.

[soulmusic247]

Considering That Syl Johnson was once on Hi Records I figure that Willie Mitchell played a great part in making the sound so similar to Al Green. Willie Mitchell definitely had to produce this while working with Al Green sometime in the 70s.

[bluesgirl62]

yea!I Luv it!
