Hot 1969 lineup — Phil Upchurch, Cleveland Eaton and Maurice White, supervised by Charles Stepney. Do What You Wanna is an irresistible funk failsafe, Opus 5 is Stepney reaching, RL and Upchurch sock it to em on Bold And Black, and there are a couple of soul-jazz Eddie Harris jams… but the sucker punch — ask Gary Bartz — is Uhuru, with White blazing a path on kalimba, and Eaton shocking out.
