Maharajah Man - Tony Smith

Caravan
Maharajah Man
Tony Smith And The Aristocrats
Featured at Fred Allegretti's 4 Horsemen Lounge
De Tone Records
1974

From the front cover: The Maharaja's Message: May you take a magic carpet ride, to see the rolling country side, open wide your child-like eyes, search the horizon in distant skies, may you behold a different view as only children and dreamers do when you return to this domain my all your fondest dreams remain.

    Thanks. I like also the cover.

    Veterans Chicago musicians Tony Smith and the Aristocrats were organized in 1947, they "represented the proto-rock 'n' roll element of postwar African American club music. "
