It's Just Begun (the whole LP) is just a little bit fucking awesome. Fuzzzt. There aren't as many stone cold solid Psychedelic Soul artists as there should be. In theory it's the perfect genre. Thanks for being one of the good ones, man.

RIP it up and start again.

The next LP "Phase Two" is just as good.

Damn! He was one of the great unsungs.

The "Everything Man" played sax, timbales, sang, wrote & arranged.

Not just funky but also one of the first latin rockers ("Castor" is Puerto Rican I think.)

Decades before I knew who he was, I knew this playground chant as a tyke in the 70's:
