Product Description:
When Oscar Brown Jr. sings Work Song we hear the coolest prince among jazz vocalists, hard at work and makin it sound... easy. Blues and jazz singers had been among the earliest stars of African- American music since the early 1920s. But when Oscar came on the scene in the 1960s, his hip and sophisticated style matched perfectly the aspirations of a new generation.
