The incomparable Curtis Mayfield was a big part of my morning commute and this track especially set me up for the rest of the day.

curtis mayfield - 'sometimes i wonder'
Tweet
A lesser known track from possibly the greatest soul singer of all time. I was going to put this into my Monday mix post but it's just so good it deserves its own thread.

Oh yes. This is what I've been listening to this lunchtime. It's a live PA he did for a German radio show back in 1990 before (I think) his tragic accident. What a voice this man had and what great tunes. He's sadly missed and greatly admired still.
