^ That's a Syl Johnson production team and backing band
this isn't as symphonic as that:


This is Not symphonic, but the most famous Syl Johnson track:

Wikipedia:
"The single's success led to an extended version becoming the title track on Johnson's 1970 album, described in one source as "the first black concept album", released over a year before Marvin Gaye's What's Going On. However, the album failed to sell in large numbers,[7] which Johnson put down to its lack of marketability to a white audience.[3] The song "Is It Because I'm Black" was later recorded by singers Ken Boothe and Delroy Wilson in Jamaica, and Johnson's recording has been sampled by musicians including the Wu-Tang Clan.[4]"

Chtonic Fatigue Syndrome
Spiritual jazz/modern soul crossover that just builds and builds. A rare and expensive record even by the standards of this sort of thing:

Not really symphonic (more of a post-psychedelic basement trip) but I'll take any excuse to post this, a similarly rare and expensive record that I do actually own:

In the beginning God said "Let there be Light" and there was Light.
Now there has come another Great Time that the world has been waiting for.
I knew the day would come when all his talents would be combined into one, such as writing, arranging, producing and his singing ability. Also his great touch and feel for his various musical instruments he plays.
Yes, the day I'm talking about is this day, that Barry White hits the nation with his Greatest Hits album.

edit: ^ that was his wife bigging Barry up
