L. Barrett stuffed a dozen lives into one. His signature 1971 spiritual soul jam "Like A Ship" has transcended it's humble South Side Chicago beginnings, rediscovered by Leon Bridges and Beck and described by Radiohead's Colin Greenwood as "The most euphoric celebratory music that makes you want to jump around the house and explode with joy."
