Genre Jumping Jockeys



Seals and Croft: diamonds in the rough of the genre jumping phenom that attempts to cross prog, jazz, r&b, country folk and urban folk, and raga, yes raga. It is sounds as bad as it seems. Their mega hit Diamond Girl, however, is a pretty sweet example of the times. Somehow they seemed to pare it down to prog meets r&b for that number, and it the case of that song, works out all right. For some reason they don’t venture back down that path on either side of the record (yes, I listened to both sides). The mountains of coke must have been so luxurious in the mid 70's...
