Product Review

The leaders of the black community in the late '60s/early '70s demanded change-and so did the artists. This 2-CD set is the first to unite the political and musical statements of that heated time: rare sound bytes of Malcolm X, Huey Newton and Stokely Carmichael join Say It Loud-I'm Black and I'm Proud James Brown; Fight the Power Pt. 1 Isley Brothers; Respect Yourself Staple Singers; The Revolution Will Not Be Televised Gil Scott-Heron; out-of-print tracks by Sons of Slum and Watts Prophets, classics by Marvin Gaye, O'Jays, Temptations, Curtis Mayfield, Nina Simone and more. 38 fiery recordings.
