The Last Poets
John Abbey, Blues & Soul, February 1972
THE LAST Poets have enjoyed success in the States via two albums, The Last Poets and This Is Madness, both on the Douglas label. However, in this country only the second album was released and it didn't really meet with British approval, simply because of the lyric content of their message.
