FONTANA, Calif. (AP) — Al Wilson, the soul singer and songwriter who had a number of 1970s hits including "Show and Tell," has died. He was 68. More.

What an outstanding song from my childhood! And we shared a birthday...

RIP, Mr. Wilson. You wrote a bunch of great ones, but that song was a stone winner, al the way. You will be missed.

Also: man, is that a wonderfully manly, confident performance, or what? Great stuff!

Anybody else getting a most welcome Jan Smithers vibe off Soul Chick #2?
