I Thought I Saw You Again • The voice of ANNE BRIGGS, long silent, reaches us over the decades with a rare beauty and power, on the few recordings this wary but resolute folk artist was persuaded to make. About her, not much else is known, and that’s just how she likes it. “I learnt from a very early age to hide behind the song,” she tells JIM WIRTH.“That was my umbrella.”

Out of a lifetime of hard-learned lessons, had come rare wisdom. "Love, man, that makes all the difference," he told BOB MEHR.

CYMANDE PUT UK FUNK ON THE MAP • From south London via the Caribbean, they launched their super-rhythmic psych-funk ‘nyah-rock’ in the clubs of Britain in 1971. Success awaited in America, where they headlined the Harlem...
