Not sure if thats a good term for it but hey, it does it for me. I seem to have loads of records that have lyrics that talk about the social/political environment of the late 60's/70's. Listening to them now, it makes me realise how little the world has really progressed! For example:
ANTONIO CASTRO - Welfare
LEROY CLOFER - Mr Big Man
GHETTO KITTY - Stand Up And Be Counted
FOUR MONITORS - Dark Side Of The Ghetto
JOHNNY KING & FATBACK - Peace, Love, Not War
WALLY COCO - Message To Society
FRANKIE STATON - Speckled Rainbow Love
BETHEA THE MASKMAN - Ghetto Love
SOUL INJECTIONS - Stay Of The Moon
ESSENCE - Black Reflections
I would be really interested in other examples from the collectors out there? And what name do you give to this genre of music..?
