Al Wilson is a soul singer from Meridian, Mississippi.
He moved to Los Angeles to finish high school and toured throughout the U.S with various R&B groups in the mid-60’s.
Wilson later signed with Johnny Rivers label Soul City, where he produced his first big single “The Snake” that grew big in the Northern soul scene.

“La La Peace Song” is a powerful Soul Album released by Rocky Road Records.

There’s a vibrant mix of different orchestral instruments and jazz guitar riffs, that blend to create a free flow of healing energy throughout the album.

Some of the vocals might remind you of the great Marvin Gay.

The quality of the record is superb; the recording is tight and you can hear all of the low end coming from the instruments. There is a medium amount of static in between songs. The record and cover are in great cosmetic and physical shape. A noticeable drum break is included in the track “Fifty-Fifty” which has a sharp intro. Also there is a Shaft style jazz guitar section in the track “Passport” that could be a nice starting point for a sampled track.

Bottom line, there are at least 3 tracks on this album for making great hip-hop music!
