Inspired by the Black Civil Rights Movement anthem "Young, Gifted and Black," Weldon Irvine, along with Nina Shimone, wrote the script, directed the music, and wrote all the lyrics and music for the musical "Young, Gifted and Broke" (1977), is now available on VINYL for the first time!

A definitive crossover jazz and soul album that resonates with the soul with its simple yet beautiful melodies, heartbreaking sound and strong spirited message!

Weldon Irving, who had literary as well as musical talent, wrote the script, directed the music, and wrote all the lyrics and music for the musical "Young, Gifted and Broke" from his own pen in 1977. This album contains the songs from the musical as a single album, and while the songs are mainly very simple compositions without excessive arrangements or development because it is a musical work, it is a superb album with Weldon's unique emotional melodies and powerful messages. This is a crossover jazz and soul album!　Starting with the groovy jazzy funk "No! Now? Never! None! While developing a rich groove, the fusion-like instrumental number "Musical Interlude (instrumental) (A8)" is played with a light groove guitar, and the middle number "Only Yesterday" (B4) is filled with mellow fillings. Weldon Irving's compositional skills are evident throughout the album! This is the world's first LP release with the latest remastering!
