| The POP side of Freddie. Today,while watching the NFL games,among others,I was listening to Mr.Hubbard and his take of 'Wichita Lineman' from his 1969 recording "A Soul Experiment" that left me in a joyful and soulful mood.
His articulation was impeccable and in my humble opinion exceeded most who orally recite Shakespear.
In his long and rich career,Freddie has carved himself a comfortable and permanent place in Jazzdom's hall of fame.
Long Live BOP and the Boppers.
