Rolling Stone's 24th greatest album of all time

Brilliant intelligent and thought-provoking soul album. Higher Ground has to be one of the best feelgood soul songs, and Living for the City certainly becomes more topical once again with the discussions ongoing on systemic racism, being about a young black man arriving in New York for the first time, and quickly being arrested and imprisoned for accidentally walking down the wrong street and being approached by the wrong person.

Cortney Burns recommended 97 Orchard: An Edible History of Five Immigrant Families in One New York Tenement in Books (curated)

"This is a great glimpse into early immigrant life in New York City seen through the lens of food and cohabitation. It gives a picture of where we came from and how we have become the fusion culinary culture we are today. For me, it feels as though I’m seeing the world through my grandparents' eyes as they traveled from Poland and Lithuania through Ellis Island, finally settling in Chicago. It helps paint a picture of my personal past."

Movie Favorite

"Perhaps the noirest of noir films, and for my money one of the three best American films of the postwar period (the others being Some Like It Hot and Sunset Boulevard). Featuring amazing performances from Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis, and a knife-edge bitterness rare in any Hollywood film, it is at once a tribute to nighttime New York City and a devastating portrait of the power of a big-time columnist like Walter Winchell."
