Black Talk (24bt) (Jpn)

Formidably talented organist Charles Earland converted the Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby" into an anthem called "Black Talk" and came up with one of the huge soul-jazz hits of the early seventies. In this album, Earland worked the same magic with two other pop songs, "Aquarius" and "More Today than Yesterday," giving them the urgency and forward movement of R&B but managing to inject them with jazz values. Black Talk! Went on to become an enormous hit, spending most of 1970 on the best-seller charts.
