Syl Johnson - Different Strokes / Is It Because I'm Black 7" 45 on limited colored vinyl

“After Martin Luther King got killed, I wanted to write a song.”
     —Syl Johnson

Two of Syl Johnson’s biggest cuts, appearing on the same 45 for the first time. Syl’s infinitely sampled 1968 sock-soul smash “Different Strokes” takes up the A-side, while 1969’s moody, political deep soul burner “Is It Because I’m Black” hogs the flip in its original single edit. Available on limited Numero Gold and housed in a handsome houndstooth-style sleeve.
