It’s hard to believe it’s been nearly 20 years since the release of Jill Scott‘s breakthrough album, ‘Who is Jill Scott: Words and Sounds Vol. 1.’
Originally released summer 2000, the LP instantly shot the poetic songstress into the Neo-Soul stratosphere on the backs of songs that would later become her signature ‘Gettin in the Way,’ ‘The Way,’ ‘He Loves Me,’ and ‘A Long Walk.’
