The name Al Wilson may or may not be familiar to you, but I put tracks by him on Unfunkked 2 and Unfunkked 4, and he's a long-time favorite of mine. And he died on Monday of kidney failure at the age of 68. There's a pretty extensive bio of Wilson at Soul Express.

No one's commenting on this one because we're all consumed with guilt at having stolen royalties from a dead man.

Seriously though, how could the maker of this classic track not be missed?
