Pharoah Sanders - The Creator Has a Master Plan 1/3

Pharoah Sanders - The Creator Has a Master Plan. Karma, February 14, 1969. Pharoah Sanders (ts); Leon Thomas (vcl, percussion); Richard Davis (b); Julius Watkins (french horn); James Spaulding (fl); Reggie Workman (b); Lonnie L. Smith Jr. (p); William Hart (d); Nathaniel Bettis (percussion). 33 minutes approx.

There was a time, when peace was on the earth,
and joy and happiness did reign. Each man
knew his worth. In my heart how I yearn for
that spirit's return and I cry, as time flies,
oooomm, oooomm.

There is a place where love forever shines, and
rainbows are the shadows of a presence so
devine, and the glow of his love lights
the heavens above, and it's free, come with me,
can't you see.

The Creator has a working plan - peace and
happiness for every man.

The Creator has a master plan - peace and
happiness for every man.

The Creator makes but one demand, happiness
thru all the land.

I actually like Leon Thomas' singing - there is a strange connection in the yodeling with other ancient cultures. I had this album on vinyl in the early 70s. Mr. Sanders followed his muse to a place where I personally wanted John Coltrane to go and he took a few brave musicians with him. We have a d.j. here in L.A., at KPFK, who plays Pharoah Sanders every Sunday on a program called Rise. His name is Mark Maxwell.

Such a shame to see so many kids gettin brainwashed by that CASH MONEY HOES garbage cooked up by the White record industry... especially when such Immortal Black Art like that of Pharoah Sanders and Charles Mingus is still around and can easily be heard thanks to the internet

I love waking up, making coffee, and listening to this recording in the warmth of my little house as the sun rises. It just always makes me smile

@1GlenAlan Yeah im 14 and love Coltrane, Sanders, Miles and Sun Ra and i try to introduce it to my age group but often times they can't appreciate how wonderful it really is. what we need is for some modern artist to play this kind of music. then maybe kids would truly begin to relate to it more.

Imagine: Sanders, Coltrane and George Harrison on a collaboration. I wish there were more of these spiritual minded music masters out here still.

See if you can find Hugh Masekala's song "A Felicidade", Big John Patton's "The Way I Feel" and Cal Tjader's "I Showed Them". I can't find Hugh's on YouTube yet. Also Peter Frampton's "Do You Feel Like I Do" or something like that. They're all different types of music, but I've always loved different music for 62 years!
