Miles Davis: Tutu

Thirty years ago, Miles Davis caused a stir when he left his label Columbia Records to sign a contract with Warner Bros. Records in 1985. He then immediately set to work recording a new album, which was to be entitled "Perfect Way" and would have been named after a song by the new wave band Scritti Politti-Song, which was covered on the album. On the occasion of a newspaper article about the South African archbishop and anti-apartheid leader Desmond Tutu, producer Tommy LiPuma then changed the album title to the name that is still associated with one of Miles Davis' most successful albums today: "Tutu".
