Ike's only known recording is considered a classic for two reasons - firstly, the music obviously is stunning. Secondly, the sparse information with a certain Stevie Wonder asking to give the "Ike Whites" of this world a fare chance and not make the color of his skin his final fate for being behind bars. Special thanks goes to the Tehachapi State Prison and superintendent Jerry Enomoto in California. The album was recorded in prison with Greg Errico (Sly & The Family Stone) and Jerry Goldstein (War) as producers. The three killer tracks on the album are "Changin' Times", "Antoinette" and the San Francisco funky "Love And Affection". Even the Japanese re-issue is going up in price these days. I've posted the emotional title track for your listening pleasure.
