Melvin Van Peebles - What the Fuck You Mean I Can't Sing?

What the Fuck You Mean I Can't Sing?  Second release by Melvin Van Peebles - hustler, artist, musician, man's man.....The album falls in between Bre'r Soul and  Sweet Sweetback's Badassss Song (did I get all the s'?). This is just funky and cool.  Nasty satire creeps through the album.  But the music hits as hard as the messages.  This is spoken word played over a groove.  Do not let it fool you, there is attention paid to the groove.  There is this thing called Free Jazz - is this Free Soul?

My Love Belongs to You is a blues...an anti-love song - "You aint never drew a faithful breath in your life....and I know it."   It closes the album and slowly builds to climax.  From the opening strings to the guitar distortion wah wah at close....then silence.  "I'm a MAN women".   Melvin gets the last word.
