Ed Summers

Hello Ed.
I've just finished listening to your "Earth And Heaven" CD. There is a power in your music to put kindness in one's heart. I felt myself refreshed and purified.
May I ask you a question? Have you released a single, titled "I Can Tell" ?

Soul Treasures

Amazing! No one remembers that tune except me. The DJays flipped the 45 and insisted on playing a tune I wrote called "Prepare Yourself." You've got good ears. I thought that it never got out of the Midwest. Anyway, guilty. Look forward to communicating with you.
