It holds up, IMO. "Mother" and "Strawberry Hill" are appropriately climactic.

Awesome uptown soul by Dionne's younger sister:

Milton Nascimento & Lô Borges - Clube da Esquina (Odeon, 1972)

Very good indeed ....

I liked Bragg very much in the 80s (Levy's Tubbs tears, I think), but this must be much later.

That one I got. From EMI, I think. But Brazilian label Odeon was always owned or distributed by EMI.

Precisely the other day I read in a boxset devoted to him how Burt Bacharach discovered Dionne Warwick among her sisters. They were 3 IIRC.

Great record. Have you heard this one (of comparable quality)?

kh -- Is that record the same as this one?

Same title.  But obviously the cover's different.  ???

That's a different record. The Milton you depict was recorded in the United States. The Milton I depict was recorded in Brazil in 1970.

O.K.  Thanks for the heads-up.    I'll seek it out. 

I'm only just beginning to dig a bit more deeply into Nascimento's music.  Seems like it might be a VERY deep well.

Yes, he is great. I was lucky to see him live in Austin twice in the early 1990s. My favorites are Clube de Esquina, Anima, Milton (the one I depict above), Milagre dos Peixes, and Native Dancer

They were awesome for a four year spell a half century ago.  This Was/Stand Up/Benefit/Aqualung/Thick as a Brick/Living in the Past was a great run of album releases.  Seriously diminishing returns throughout the rest of the 70's, and then it all fell apart at the end of that decade - yet they (he?) keep on keeping on anyways, because what can a poor boy do except to sing in a rock 'n' roll band?
