Originally released in 1968, Kafunta was the second album from soul singer P.P. Arnold, often referred to as “The First Lady of Immediate Records.” The record followed the success of her debut and continued to showcase her stunning, gospel-infused vocals, bringing American soul energy into the heart of London’s late-60s music scene.
The album is notable for its bold reinterpretations of contemporary hits—including The Beach Boys’ “God Only Knows”, The Beatles’ “Eleanor Rigby” and “Yesterday”, and The Bee Gees’ “To Love Somebody”. Combined with her heartfelt originals and deep soul delivery, the record cemented Arnold’s place as a cult icon of British soul.
