Syl Johnson: Is It Because I'm Black LP phono preamps when they're availableOne of the true heavyweight soul funk titles. Most of the originals of this are likely in the hands of collectors trading places for over $200, and we're on the hunt. The title track is the monster with the smooth sampled groove and Syl's deep soul vocals. Clocking in at over 7 minutes, this is true epic soul. "Right On" is another track that everyone looks for, after it was given a rebirth on an No ID interlude on Common's second album. Pure heaven
