LETTA is a magnificent sample of African-American soul, bearing the UK dancefloor classic “Mahlalela” (written by husband Caiphus Semenya), Mbulu’s great “Use Mncane” (an amazing song that beautifully showcases Mbulu’s gorgeous vocal capacities), “I Need Your Love” (which could’ve easily been a hit), Masekela’s fine “Macongo” and a Mbulu perennial in husband Semenya’s anthemic “Jigijela.” (via Djalma’s Soul Food: Letta Mbulu - Letta (1970, Chisa)) —seriously, this is an amazing record, and it’s a crying shame that it’s been out of print for more than 35 years
