Hey!!! Mom's can be cool! My kids are 33 and 27 now, they're so glad I introduced them to Pink Flloyd and Led Zep, and Frank Zappa! AND Mozart, Liszt, and Beethoven! And Willy Nelson, Chet Atkins and Hank Williams, and Johnny Cash. And everything in between! I taught them to enjoy all genres of music, but to also be particular, and to see and appreciate real talent.

Was this the original album cover with the women on it?

[paytpowell]

This recording is the Manu Dibango original but the album cover is actually The Lafayette Afro-Rock Band who covered the song, you can see the band name under the title.

It looks like Robin Harmon, former student of Howard U and Miss Maryland,,I think...
