"Wichita Lineman" by King Curtis

A song from the 1960s that you like or means something to you.

There are a number of songs I could have chosen, but for today I'm going to go with the King Curtis version of "Wichita Lineman" from 1969. "Wichita Lineman" has one of my favorite melodies of all-time and I really love this beautiful instrumental version by King Curtis.
