William DeVaughn was mentioned a couple times upthread, but I just wanted to opine that the entire "Be Thankful..." album is a solid listen on a par with the single.

Was reading someone say Michael Kiwanuka is Curtis Mayfield influenced but I hear more Bill Withers and Terry Callier

Thanks to songs on streaming shows , Kiwanuka is developing quite a US following. I am still not won over completely.
― curmudgeon, Monday, 3 February 2020 18:07 (four years ago) link
Does Kiwanuka need his own thread? His audience is growing in NA for sure but the response on this board is so lukewarm (no mentions in either the album or the tracks poll).I thought the last one was a lock for one of the best of the year. Much tighter than Love & Hate.

I liked the most recent one too, but something about his retro-ness bugs me. That Daptone like thing. Although his latest goes well beyond that. Also , I am a big fan of the late Mel Waiters, a southern soul singer, who like others on the “chitlin circuit soul thread “ get no crossover attention. That’s not Kiwanuka’s fault though, I must acknowledge.

I get more than a whiff of Radio 2 about Kiwanuka. Which needn't always be a pejorative but...
