The Boy's Doin' It is the seventeenth studio album by South African trumpeter Hugh Masekela. It was recorded in Lagos, Nigeria and released in June 1975 via Casablanca Records label. The album was re-released on CD in 1998 on Verve Records with six additional tracks.
John Bush of Allmusic noted "Recorded in Lagos, Nigeria and dedicated to Fela Kuti, The Boy's Doin' It has six extended jams, each of which does an excellent job of playing off deep grooves against ensemble vocals and catchy hooks, with plenty of room for Masekela's own trumpet and every note polished to a fine '70s sheen. It didn't matter what type of music fan you were: pop, disco, funk, world music, and any but the most hidebound jazz purist could get into these tracks".
This album is dedicated to Fela Ransome-Kuti. Special thanks to the women of the world.
