Description

One of the best of Les McCanns 70s Atlantic recordings, and one that captures him with a lot of fire and funkiness and none of the looser modes of other recordings from the time! Les sings on about half the cuts but the focus is still quite strongly on his funky jazz, which makes even the vocal numbers work well here giving them a punch that puts the lyrics in very nice formation. Includes a nice long version of Whats Going On, with backing vocals by The Persuasions; a funky instrumental called Shamading that has some excellent clavinet work; and a few other vocal tracks with backup vocals by Eugene McDaniels, like Let It Lay, Talk To The People, and Stevie Wonders Seems So Long. Also features the funky instrumental North Carolina one of Les best funky tracks from the 70s, with a really messed up keyboard sound
