"Like A Ship" was recorded in 1971 by a 27-year-old pastor and a school choir and is a stirring and powerful meditation on the aftermath of the civil rights movement
Recorded with the help of Chess/Cadet maestros Gene Barge, Phil Upchurch and Richard Evans, the album is a mix of euphoric gospel and Mayfield-style political soul, with sleigh bells, handclaps and jazzy piano stops. Barrett, who has been sampled by T.I., Kanye and Khaled, created a rousing crossover gospel classic that still has great relevance.
