Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Les McCann is an American soul jazz piano player and vocalist whose biggest successes came as a crossover artist into R&B and soul. McCann's main career began in the early 1960s when he recorded with his trio for Pacific Jazz Records. In 1969, Atlantic Records released Swiss Movement, a recording of McCann with regular collaborator and saxophonist Eddie Harris and guest trumpeter Benny Bailey at that year's Montreux Jazz Festival. The album contained the song "Compared To What," and both the album and the single were huge Billboard pop chart successes. "Compared To What" featured political criticism of the Vietnam War. The song was not actually written by McCann; fellow Atlantic composer/artist Eugene McDaniels wrote it years earlier. "Compared To What" was initially recorded and released by soul vocalist Roberta Flack. Her version appeared as the opening track on her debut recording, First Take
