Amiri Baraka/LeRoi Jones - "Beautiful Black Women"

 

"(...) A legendary album called Black & Beautiful, Soul & Madness by Amiri Baraka and the Spirit House Movers, a spoken-word/soul/jazz album recorded in a family home in New Jersey. (...) Baraka, then known as LeRoi Jones, had self-recorded and produced the album at a pressing plant in his native Newark. (...) The opening track, 'Beautiful Black Women' is an anthemic love poem urging young women to join the movement for change" (Stuart Cosgrove - Harlem 69: The Future Of Soul)
