Al Wilson - Show and Tell (1973) | REACTION 

Absolutely brilliant

It's an incredible song anyway. My Dad listened to it all the time... this song was still in heavy rotation in '75 when my folks divorced. Dad made many overtures to win Mom back to no avail. It spoke to him for sure.

One of my all-time favorites. Outstanding! That song deserved this attention for its lyrical composition. Beautiful, well-constructed context of music history and for that period. Tried my best to keep that 1 teardrop inside my eyelid...didn't work...more flowed.

Oh yeah 1973 a good year in music,I graduated 74 you can't match any music to that era it was magic

Seems this song would be one of the easiest Name That Tune in one note songs ever. That's how unique it is. I echo all your sentiments.

Thumbs UP for this one...those strings in this record. I am a strings man. LOL Music Arrangers who write out those strings and horn arrangements, in songs that go off to become BIG hits. NEVER get their recognition.

Thanks for the history intro. This is one of my all time favorite songs. Greetings from Jamaica.

Thank you for this passionate reaction and commentary in regards to the classic, "Show and Tell" by Al Wilson (R.I.P.). I'm a rock and roll musician that has an eclectic and diverse music style. The 70s is where it's at! The classic rock and roll of KISS, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, The Beatles, The Who and The Rolling Stones have helped me develop my own style. The classic soul of Marvin Gaye (R.I.P.), The Rev. Al Green, Teddy Pendergrass (R.I.P.) have inspired my passion and love for music. R.I.P. to Mr. Al Wilson. I cannot stop listening to this beautiful yet powerful soul masterpiece. Thank you, and God bless you.

Interesting, with some coaching by, say, Quincy Jones, I could see Gary Puckett maybe pulling of this song off 😁
