Yep. I only recently got into it, actually, and it completely blew me away. My initial thought was, "wow, I've heard chunks of this album a million times, and didn't even know it." And although I do agree about "By the Time I Get to Phoenix," the other half of the song is still pretty sweet.
And I concede both points, Sly deserved more and Gil Scott-Heron was more important to rap than soul. But I really like the latter's r&B stuff and Sly, well, I have no good excuse for that.
I'll probably have those downloads up on thursday unless something goes sour.
