A much needed Black Music thread.

Not a music video.
I couldn't find much on Don Shirley, his life appeared to be the path of disillusioned ambition. He wanted to become a classical concert pianist but he came along a decade too early and was not accepted. Tony Lip eventually went on to play Carmine Lupertazzi on The Sopranos.
Mahershala Ali and Viggo Mortensen, imho a must see film.

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) celebrated it's 25 Anniversary of release on Nov 9. One of the greatest and most influential hip hop albums in history. Initially given a 4.5 mics rating by Source magazine it was justifiably revised to 5 mics (classic status) in subsequent years. It is the blue print for street hop.
Your'e welcome. Expansions was released in 1974 so you have to be a dinosaur like me to remember the Jazz-Funk era.
I was introduced to Lonnie Liston Smith because of Guru (RIP). He featured him on his first Jazzmatazz CD.
All you need to know about Don Shirley is that he was Jamaican and so Yung Dood and those of his ilk would never accept him. lol
