Headless Heroes Of The Apocalypse

About

Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse is an album of American soul music by artist Eugene McDaniel, released in 1971. It is dedicated to Roberta Flack who is credited: "Special thanks to Miss Roberta Flack for not being afraid to help a brother. She, in my opinion, is a lady of quality, grace, humanity and talent of the highest order. I love you, Bert-G." As with McDaniel's previous album, this is not a typical Soul album, which can even be seen by the cover image (a picture of McDaniels screaming between two warring samurai). This album dabbles in form between soul, Funk, jazz and even folk. In addition, it has been a collector's item among rap music and rare groove enthusiasts since the early 90s when several of the songs were sampled by many hip hop producers including Pete Rock and Q-Tip. All tracks composed by Eugene McDaniels Personnel Harry Whitaker - piano, musical director Gary King - electric bass Miroslav Vitouš - acoustic bass Alphonse Mouzon - drums Richie Resnikoff - guitar Carla Cargill - female vocals Lew Hahn - engineer Patrick Roques - art direction and design Bill Del Conte - photography Harvey Konigsberg - samurai painting .
