Spearhead is pretty much a vehicle for American musician Michael Franti. He produces a heady mix of r'n'b, funk, hip hop and reggae.
His big hit, okay, medium sized hit, was this song. It's a lot like Gil Scott-Heron's stuff to my mind and that's a very good thing!
People In Tha Middle made it into the top 50 in the UK in 1995 and it's easy to see why.
Hidden gems: B sides are live versions that also appeared on Spearhead's debut album, Home; two of them hits in their own right - a bargain package!
