RIP, Al Wilson

Posted by apostropher

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.

Or alternatively, we're ecstatic at having stolen royalties from a dead man, but "Whew! That was better than sex!" would be an inappropriate thing to say on a memorial thread.

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