Created in 1973, "Gentleman" is the direct forerunner to the legendary album "Alagbon Close" - and all the ingredients of the legendary Afrobeat are already perfectly laid out here. Thematically, the album oscillates between colonialism (the title track) and personal experiences. "Fefe Naa Efe" celebrates overcoming heartbreak, while "Igbe" (in German "shit") declines when a person acts "shit": there is talk of betrayal to a lack of self-respect.
