Its a shame that album never saw the light of the day I forgot, Q-tip had actually been taking piano lessons from Weldon Irvine about a year before he passed.... ... " I've got six things on my mind --you're no longer one of them." - Paddy McAloon, Prefab Sprout | |

And correct me if I'm wrong, didn't they ALL(along with Weldon) were on the process of recording the protest song against the killing of that African brother(4got his name, the one who died by the hands of NYPD). Something like that. | |

Something like that. Yup, for Amadou Diallo...they did record it, (I never got my hands on a copy, though) I think there's info on it on Don Blackman's web site... ...

I wonder why this never got released, I mean, there arefar worse albums out there that did get a release,yet this one got lost somehow.It sounds better than that other solo stuff he released.

I thought it was a snooze fest, but glad that Q-Tip was willing to take a creative chance. | |
