Ultra funky jazz poet Wanda Robinson's second outing was released on Perception in 1973. Featuring killer solo drum breaks that have been borrowed by rappers and turntablists alike, "Me And A Friend" mixes soul jazz, beat poetry and black pride and established Robinson as a major figure in expanding African-American consciousness. Now known as Laini Mataka, she's published books including "Black Rhythms for Fancy Dancers" and "Being A Strong Black Woman Can Getchu Killed."
