Al Wilson - Show and Tell: The Best Of Al Wilson

You can find it here.

He had the one big hit on the pop charts, 'Show and Tell', and it's a dandy. But get this and you won't be disappointed. Other standout songs include, 'La La La La Peace Song', 'Willoughby Brook Road', 'Queen Of The Ghetto', and a scorching version of the CCR hit 'Born On The Bayou'.

Wilson's voice is classic soul, evoking Sam Cooke in some parts and Lou Rawls in others. Everything is listenable and recommended.

I often wonder how this guy wasn't wildly famous like Al Green was.

5 out of 5 stars
Will I listen to it again? Yes. This is a normal selection of my music rotation.
