The song I chose “How Sweet It Is” is a remake. Marvin Gaye did it first. But that was before my time. The sweet baby James version is the one I remember. Very sentimental for so many reasons. Hope you take peace in this song as I do. Wiki

I liked Marvin’s better, but you know me, older than dirt and all that…

I would wear grooves into James’ albums by replaying certain songs on the vinyl (before it was *retro* cool). Your post made me wonder what he was up to these days, as I could see his voice holding up through aging. Here’s a video taken in your neck of the woods just over a month ago. 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZpWnS8Ro94
