The pompous is the prerogative of the groups who think smarter or more talented than they really are.

The icing on the cake with a little good will, one can be at once vulgar, pompous, commercial and ... bad singer, like a Johnny H, which it is forbidden to speak ill in France without risking immediately excommunication.
It can also be nothing all that, as Donny Hathaway, fabulous artist, a real King of the soul, which this Live, recorded in Hollywood and New York in 1972, is to listen again and again and religiously store alongside the masters of the genre: James Brown, Al Green, Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye, Isaac Hayes, Curtis Mayfield and Stevie Wonder ......
A must!
