I'm Alive - Johnny Thunder (1969)

I dare you to not be inspired and grateful to be alive when listening to this track, by the criminally underappreciated R&B singer Johnny Thunder. Here's what Bob Dylan had to say about it when it was released: "Never heard it either, huh? Well, I can't believe it. Everyone I've talked to, I've asked them if they've heard that record. It was one of the most powerful records I've ever heard. It's called 'I'm Alive.' By Johnny Thunder. Well, it was that sentiment, truly expressed. That's the most I can say ... if you heard the record, you'd know what I mean."
