duaneiac Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 The album that hit song came from is mighty fine from start to finish -- one of the best 99 cent purchases I ever made. That's about all of Edwin Hawkins' music I'm familiar with, but it's very good indeed. May he Rest In Peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
