A friend just posted Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes' "Wake Up Everybody" on Facebook. Damn, that song never, ever, gets old. It's a great song, the music, the singing, the production (Gamble and Huff!) and the words, oh holy hell, the words are absolutely timeless.
The song came to me via Big Youth's version when I was twenty one and has been with me like a close friend ever since. Decades of hearing both versions over and over again, without getting old or losing relevance. You can't really ask for more from a song.
