Harsh losses recently. Just after De La Soul sorted out licensing for the streaming of Three Feet High and Rising - it took 20 years to legal the samples. Then founder member David Jolicouer goes and dies. Nae luck. A classic album - peerless, happy, upbeat and cheerful. Refreshingly lacking in shooting cops and slapping bitches compared to their contemporaries.

As most will know, these tracks run together on the album. I prefer to remember Dave Crosby in this way. I couldn't get on with Crosby, Stills, Nash and - even worse - Neil Young. Individually fine - mostly - but together? Let's throw a bunch of drug problems into a studio. Let's not.
