Mixtape No. 38: Essential Listening III – Wattstax

All of us have something to say, but some are never heard.

Richard Pryor, “Wattstax”

A70-8073

Neil Brennan called this something like “the blackest shit ever.” I had to check it out, and tend to agree. Now you have to check it out. Keep in mind that Issac Hayes is wearing a vest made out of gold chains when he gets on stage.

Mixtape No. 20: Essential Listening I

Essential Listening, episode the first. Converted using my poor MiniDisc, may it ever remain useful. Nine tracks everyone needs to hear and some you won’t mind hearing several times; mostly live and taking place in the 1970s — including a large chunk of James Brown performing on Soul Train. Peace, love, and soul-l-l! All songs are available on the YouTubes.
