"This is soul. Not Al Green soul. Not Isaac Hayes soul (but perhaps a bit closer to that). This is the soul of the black man. It is the soul of a student of history who is sick and tired of force-feeding and ready to spit back. This is the soul of a man tired of the system and using his art to reframe and correct it. When it first came out in 1971, Eugene McDaniels¢Å¾¢ vitriolic statement irked and ired many, including Vice President Spiro Agnew, who personally contacted Atlantic Records to demand that the album be shelved.This is quite possibly my favourite record OF ALL TIME...It reduces me to tears everytime I play it...enjoy
