Nathan,
Welcome.
I can help with a few tracks that might not be fairly obvious, right around 23:15. It is Elaine Brown's "I Know Who You Are." (I know who you are/ I've seen what you do/ The smile has a way/ of soothing...) Then he cuts into "Child in the World" from the same album (the Biz break).
Elaine Brown, as you may know, was a member of the Black Panthers (Minster of Information, Party Chairperson, and editor of the Black Panther Newspaper). Her second record, Until We're Free, was released on Motown-subsidiary Black Forum. A great record that anyone would be wise to have in his collection.
Coincidentally, I just got back from an exhibit of vintage photographs of the Black Panthers, celebrating their 40th anniversary. Among the photos were shots of Elaine Brown; campaigning for Oakland office on a city bus, flyering on street corners, in hot pants greeting Huey after release from prison.
The exhibit also had a great deal of Panther-related ephemera, including a handout from George Jackson's memorial that was heartbreaking, mostly because it had all the signs of a document that had survived many a wringing within worrisome hands. Not only that, but it was a simple mimeographed piece of 8.5" x 11" paper, folded in quarters; so simple a remembrance, with evidence of the decades it's survived, yet so indicative of how they conducted their affairs. Simply self-reliant. The handout was flattened and mounted in a frame, so depending on which quarter you were interested in, you might have to turn your head to read it upside down. On the back was a list of "memorial pallbearers." Folks who had died in prison or been shot by cops. George's younger brother, Jonathan, was listed first. The inside had the famous McKay poem from 1919 which, considering it's relevance in this context, could have been written the day the handout was printed in 1971.
If we must die, let it not be like hogs
Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot,
While round us bark the mad and hungry dogs,
Making their mock at our accursed lot.
If we must die, O let us nobly die,
So that our precious blood may not be shed
In vain; then even the monsters we defy
Shall be constrained to honor us though dead!
O kinsmen we must meet the common foe!
Though far outnumbered let us show us brave,
And for their thousand blows deal one deathblow!
What though before us lies the open grave?
Like men we'll face the murderous, cowardly pack,
Pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back!
--Claude McKay
Besides the Soledad Brothers memorial, there was a flyer for an Elaine Brown show.
Much appreciated for identifying the Elaine Brown tracks.. nice. What's the track after those, at 24:48?
Thanks again.
But I just read THIS and wanted to share it.
Good luck .

Thanks others for naming a load of the tracks. My mind can be at some sort of ease! The man is a magician.
Did he pull stuff strictly on Motown, or did he include covers of Motown tunes not necessarily on the label?
it' s "I'm a BACHELOR" by the tempting Temps
