With four vocals among the seven tracks, Talk to the People preaches earthily in the funky soul\/jazz and R\u0026amp;B languages of the time, with some social comment besides. Having gone completely over to the Rhodes electric piano and Hohner clavinet, McCann became a fervent convert -- indeed, he and Stevie Wonder were the funky-butt champs of the clavinet in the 1970s -- and he could beat on them with the rhythmic snap of a conga drummer. \"Shamading\" may be the funkiest, hip-shaking thing McCann has ever recorded; the cool, swaggering funkathon \"North Carolina\" runs a close second; and the best of the vocals is a very gritty and convincing treatment of Marvin Gaye's \"What's Going On.\" Although there are some weak links in this chain of tunes, the highs are sky-high, and they represent some of McCann's peak studio performances.  \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Les_McCann\"\u003ehttp:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Les_McCann\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracklist\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1.
