In 1979, superstars Kansas delivered one of their finest albums in their extensive catalog with the stellar prog-classic “Monolith”. Featuring the stunning hits single “People Of The Southwind” and the powerful “Reason To Be”, the Lp brought the band further fame with another gold album and a top ten charting rock masterwork to add to their repertoire. More Kansas favorites like “How My Soul Cries For You” and “On The Other Side” and the rest of the masterwork have all become band staples making this Lp a definitive chapter in the classic rock era. “Monolith” includes the original award winning Mark I line-up of Steve Walsh, Phil Ehart, Kerry Livgren, Robby Steinhardt, Dave Hope & Rich Williams.
