A must for all Soul, Folk and Funk fans out there!

Regularly featuring in many top albums of all time lists, this is the debut LP 1971 produced by Booker T Jones.

‘Harlem’ is an underground classic and was the original A- Side release before ‘Ain’t No Sunshine’, the B-side, received massive attention and the sides were swapped.

‘Ain’t No Sunshine’ is a soul classic that reached R&B #6 and Pop #3 upon its release and has been covered by an almost endless list of stars including Nancy Wilson, Grover Washington, Jr. Michael Jackson, The Temptations, Isaac Hayes, Roy Ayers, Sting and Paul McCartney.

The bluesy ‘Grandma’s Hands’ reached R&B #18 and Pop #42 shortly after its release. This song will be familiar to all fans of the R&B #1 hit ‘No Diggity’ by Blackstreet feat Dr Dre and Queen Pen.
