Chicago, United States (1949 – present)
He began recording in 1970 with the LP Small Talk at 125th and Lenox with the assistance of Bob Thiele Flying Dutchman Records, co-writer Brian Jackson, Hubert Laws, Bernard Purdie (who later recorded “Delights of the Garden” with The Last Poets), Charlie Saunders, Eddie Knowles, Ron Carter and Bert Jones, all jazz musicians (see 1970 in music). The album included the aggressive diatribe against white-owned corporate media and middle-class America’s ignorance of the problems of inner cities in songs such as
The 1971 Pieces of a Man used more conventional song structures than the loose, spoken word feel of his first, though he didn’t reach the charts until 1975 with “Johannesburg”. His biggest hit was 1978’s “
