Bra Hugh you have given us so so much. The JazzWorlld has lost an icon. Your music will always live on in our hearts! We commemorate the anniversary of your homegoing! Sam The Sambaman
I remember listening to this selection on a cheap boom box that I bought back in the Summer of 75. It really brings back such good memories. John Lucien was great back then too.
I became familiar with this tune the year it came out. I was in Boston in the mid-90s when he and "Ms Makeba" as he called her performed at Symphony. I planned it well and had a large boquet of flowers to present to her after her performance. I was reward with a light kiss on the cheek. I was the envy of the entire hall. On a side note that same summer I was fortunate to catch Nina Simone at the same place. Was kind of disappointed though. Not with music but she left my boquet sitting
Oh , those glorious, deeply spiritual days at Cala. You kept us going and WE WERE NOT AFRAID BECAUSE THE EMANCIPATION OF THIS COUNTRY needed your sound. Prince Q
I was sixteen when this LP came out. I wish this was available on CD so I could add it to my playlist. The whole LP was/is great❣ Thank you for the post❣
He knew better than to release a potentially politically explosive song to the U.S. audience in those days. Besides, he had, by then, married Cab Calloway's daughter, his son, Sal's mother. By then he had learned the value of going commercial. When he got back to South Africa he combined social commentary and commercial sense to galvinize and entertain.

Rest in Peace my Brother. We have crossed paths here in earth. Your music speaks to me while you are away in your everlasting life.

I agree: best version ever of this song, from one of the best albums of all time, Colonial Man

Sal's mother is Haitian. It's not Chris Calloway
