It,s been a very bad year up to now, & its only February, with so many of our legends passing away, & i,m sad to report another star in the skies in the passing of Syl Johnson yesterday. Its not that long ago i posted a review & bio of his first 2 albums in a 2 4 1 on Kent. So my small tribute to the man comes in his third studio album and his debut on Hi records in Memphis & one of my fave,s by him. Listening to this album tonight it makes a mockery of its age!..He did this in 1973 !?...really!..every track had me spellbound all over again and its been a while since i played it..Magnificent Soul Music !...You will be sadly missed Syl, but what a band of brothers your meeting up with..R.I.P.

Really sad news amm, thanks for the review!
Fantastic LP from a very great singer and guitarist.
But there are many more by this guy in a very prolific discography.
I am very sad and unfortunately the series continues.
It must be said that we too are aging.
No link for me.

Another loss. Great tribute and review AMM. We're losing some greats so far in 2022...
RIP Sly Johnson,Thank you AMM
I do already have this album but just wanted to say RIP Syl Johnson. I was fortunate to see Syl play live in a Perth pub some years ago. After the show I met Syl and shook his hand. I said to my friend who was with me, "I just shook the hand that once shook the hands of Howlin' Wolf and Magic Sam." Also Syl's brother, Jimmy Johnson died last week, so this has been a tragic start to the year for the Johnson family.
Yes AMM. Syl Johnson was magnificent. Thanks for this upgrade. Thank you AMM for all the beautiful music!!
Rip a great legend thanks

Sad news, also I did not know that his brother Jimmy died this month. Very sad.
