Sweet soul music from inside
Article Abstract:
The album 'Long Time No See' is partly a reflection on the strong emotions that characterize life in prisons, according to soul singer Chico DeBarge, who was himself imprisoned for almost six years. The music is intended to express what he is as a man, what he was and what he has experienced. He still feels bitter about the US criminal justice system, feeling that he should not have served more time than those who were actually involved in drug dealing. He feels that many of the things said about him were not true and that he was a victim of racism.

'Things move too quickly in England.' (rock group Supertramp)
Article Abstract:
Rock group Supertramp was extremely popular in the 1970s, and its album 'Breakfast in America' sold 18 million copies. The group fell from favour in the UK in the 1980s, but has remained together and continues to do live performances. It is still very popular in Europe, probably because of the image of Englishness which it presents. The group's live performances play on this image, and have a strong sense of nostalgia for British traditions.

They couldn't help acting on Impulse
Article Abstract:
The jazz music recorded under the Impulse Records name in the 1960s was different from other jazz being played at the time, but it was not dubbed 'acid jazz' until the 1980s. The Impulse Records recordings made other jazz look rather old-fashioned, and it had a considerable cultural impact. The label had a great influence on the rock group Santana, but then went into decline.
