An Old Smoothie

A bit of early 1970s "conscious" soul for you today courtesy of Mike James Kirkland. He released two albums - "Hang On In There" (1972) and "Doin' It Right" (1973) - and we have one track from each in chronological order. Fans of Marvin Gaye and Donny Hathaway might like this.

"Where Is The Soul Of Man?" - Mike James Kirkland

"Love Is All We Need" - Mike James Kirkland

Mr Kirkland hails from the magnificently named Yazoo City in the state of Mississippi. Hence the choice for today's clip.
