Eugene McDaniels
Screams and Whispers
From All About Jazz:
Eugene McDaniels—vocalist, lyricist, fearless social commentator, and composer of massive hits such as "Compared to What" and "Feel Like Makin' Love"—is back. Sample-hungry DJs have been snapping up 30+ year-old vinyl copies of his Joel Dorn-produced, futuristic folk/funk/gospel/jazz fusion LPs ( Outlaw and Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse ) for quite some time now. Besides offering sweet soul, unusual arrangements, and seriously funky beats, McDaniels' raw nerve approach to socio-political matters on tunes such as "Love Letter To America," "Supermarket Blues," "Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse" and "Freedom Death Dance" made him a charter member of Tricky Dick's Enemies List. Sadly, the lyrics he wrote 35 years ago still ring true today. The 30-odd years between McDaniels' last commercial release as a featured vocalist (he produced movie soundtracks, and several jazz, funk, and R&B artists through the late '70s and '80s, and collaborated with Carri Coltrane on three CDs in the late '90s) have not dulled his impassioned, liquid tenor voice one iota.
