Originally performed by Les McCann and Eddie Harris [who have never, ever been beat -- their take on this song is the total knockout], this furious tune ("Tryin' To Make It Real Compared To What?") is the ultimate malcontent's song of disgust with the Human Condition for every age, and every era. Same stuff, different day. The more things change... The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer... you feel me?
Al Jarreau preformed this crazy, wild, sacrilegious, protest song before a live audience at a faster, racing pace, and loaded it with so much energy you will be electrified listening to it -- he infuses it with vocalese, his own selection of vocal instruments. Super-laden with solo riffs and sweaty, earthy, spontaneous funk. This song cooks, and the performance is explosive!
