Uptownship album for sale Product Description

Uptownship album for sale by Hugh Masekela was released Oct 31, 1989 on the Novus label. The title of this New York City-recorded album suggests a combination of township jive and uptown Gotham soul and energy, but what we get is some of the former and little of the latter. Here, Masekela alternates South African-inflected pop/jazz with lugubrious covers of a couple of U.S. soul tunes (Gamble & Huff's "If You Don't Know Me by Now" and Smokey Robinson's "Ooh Baby Baby") and a Bob Marley anthem, "No Woman, No Cry."

Uptownship CD music contains a single disc with 11 songs. ...See Full Description
