Both Pharoahs releases are excellent examples of the early seveties'
fusion of r&b, jazz, and funk. If you appreciate Roy Ayers, Earth Wind &
Fire, the Headhunters, and other such acts from the early and mid
seventies, then the Pharoahs will fit right at home in your collection.
If they had more music out there, I'd buy it up instantly
