I have never seen Soul Mann & The Brothers but their Shaft is not bad at all. I know I must have heard it many times before, thinking it's just another Isaac Hayes version. LOL, how did they get away with copyright infringement because, from the litle I've read, Bumpy's Lament was sampled more than the original.
Unsung on Centric has got to do a feature on them. It's just crazy that it seems Soul Mann's album is becoming a collector's item.

Though he passed so soon, your dad left a priceless collection for you, BRDS
