    I no longer have this album, there's one I could not find. I "think" it's named "Angela is only sleeping". Unearthly in it's beauty

    Not quite George....Paul went to S.A in the middle of Apartheid. Many strong and intelligent voices begged him not to go.

    But Ladysmith Black Mombasa asked him to come. A top S.A. group as you can hear.
    They had asked many, but the tensions and USA policy induced them to decline.

    LSBM felt that their people needed more exposure to western music and though that music they might find "Something of value."
    So Paul went anyway and he played the townships. It's widely thought that he accomplished much good and helped to moved S.A, along the road to integration, still a long way to go.

    In book "The Roots of heaven" the preface reads (I'm Paraphrasing a bit, but I think I remember it rightly:

    "If we take from a people their language, their religion, their cultural norms...
    Then we must make sure we leave them with "something of value"

    Patti and I spoke about our loss of interest in Paul's work, we have no idea why, But I'm going back and spending more time. I think he is as good as any in this world, I just a bit amazed I haven't felt a stronger pull. I have this album":O}

    Colin James. Why I haven't known about this extremely impressive artist for years. Thank you for posting these vids!!
    Pretty freakin' amazing! How easy it is in this crowded world not to know what's going on just next door.

    Thank you for telling me about the history of this landmark LP. Perhaps I was confused a about this history. Afaik, Paul Simon brought these musicians to New York to record Graceland. I must agree, what talented above and beyond the everyday these South Africans were. Ladysmith Black Mombazo really knocked me over.

    I know that he did quite a few shows in Africa. This required balls of steel, who knew how the people in the street would react to this small white boy?

    This guy had slipped from my musical mind, the shame of it! He is a true maestro of those six strings!

    Years ago how tired I was of listening to Mason Williams remasturbate this song. Can't argue that it wasn't a great tune. However Tommy Emmanuel really slays this one. Thanks for reminding me about Mr Emmanuel's prowess!

    I now have 4 versions of "Into the Mystic"
    Van Morrison-Mark Cohn -Collen James-and now The Allman Brothers.
    I've listened to this far more in the last couple of days than I ever did the original. They are all quite good.

    I tried looking this up but Paul has so many albums out I didn't get to far. As best as I can remember he used LadySmith on at lest two albums. The first he went to Africa the second LSBM came to him.
