Some people just own it. What is it? Transcendent charisma and the ability to articulate the unsung. In the 1970s, four musicians blurred the lines between the sacred and the profane. Come journey from Lagos and Kingston to New York City and London to live inside the raw imagination of that decade.

This book is the work of a genius I was expecting a work of art, but I still wasn’t prepared for the extent to which you put poetic poise to pen. As I read through this tremendous composition, I thought about King David (Book of Psalms) and King Solomon (Song of Songs), but in a modern day progressive context with deep concern for both humanity and the planet. This book is not just a masterful exposition of love, it’s a work of art skillfully and surgically composed by a true renaissance author, in every artistic way imaginable. You will not regret investing in this timeless production.
