After a very brief period of recording music from about 1967 to 1974, Harold Alexander disappeared from the music scene. He is alleged to have commented on the music industry by saying: "Most people don’t know what happened to me… I guess they think I’m gone. They didn’t kill my spirit, but they killed my desire to share." Before his removal from the scene of recorded music, Harold Alexander provided the world with some incredibly funky jazz fusion tracks with a distinct otherworldly craziness.

His most recognized LP is 1971’s Sunshine Man, on Flying Dutchman Records. On that album, the most sought-after groove is the straight up banger “Mama Soul”, which features insane scatting over a delicious funky flute and organ driven beat. An immaculate six minutes of mental voca...

Before his removal from the scene of recorded music, Harold Alexander provided the world with some incredibly funky jazz fusion tracks with a distinct otherworldly craziness.

His most recognized LP is 1971’s Sunshine Man, on Flying Dutchman Records. On that album, the most sought-after groove is the straight up banger “Mama Soul”, which features insane scatting over a delicious funky flute and organ driven beat. An immaculate six minutes of mental vocals and Alexander’s flute doing exactly what the vocals are doing. It comes as no surprise that “Mama Soul” was sampled multiple times by artists from Blackalicious to DJ Shadow.

Another highlight (one of the many on this album) is the adept double beat from iconic drummer Bernard ‘Pretty’ Purdie (husband to Aretha Franklin and known for his work with Isaac Hayes, Cat Stevens, B.B. King, and Joe Cocker) who is delivering some of the most tight and wicked drum-skills known to man. Bass duties here are filled by another icon: the award winning Richard Davies (known for his work with Miles Davis, Bruce Springsteen, Van Morrison, Frank Sinatra, and Leonard Bernstein). Production of the album was handled by industry veteran Bob Thiele who produced & arranged countless albums from the likes of Art Blakey, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Quincy Jones, John and Alice Coltrane, and Gil Scott-Heron.
