Spot on comments about one of my favorite albums ever. Just one thing...
I might be wrong but I’ve always thought the correct lyric in the second verse was “I hate the human, love that stinking mutt.” Are you certain that this is incorrect?
Great video! I picked up that LP in the used bins in high school and was lucky to see McCann play "Compared to What" live in Sacramento a few months later. He still brought the fire, 20 years later...
This was one of the performances that got me into jazz, back within a few years of the album's release, and judging by the comments at YouTube, it had the same effect on a lot of other people.
The lyrics and the music never, ever, gets old––too bad for the former and thank the Lord for the latter. Thank you, Les McCann, for the light you brought to this world! Thanks, Ethan, for sharing. Happy & Healthy New Year!

After reading your article and watching the video several times, I bought "Swiss Movement."

A great album. Another favorite is the album he did with the trio accompanying Lou Rawls.
I need to listen
One for the ages, with and without pictures. And in addition to his many worthy musical achievements, he discovered Roberta Flack! RIP
