McKinley Mitchell's "The Town I Live In" as heard on James and the Adjective Noun's show Pie Face Show Case. A little known R&B track from 1962.

McKinley Mitchell (Born: December 25, 1934, Jackson, MS Died: January 18, 1986, Chicago Heights, IL) Blessed with an extraordinary set of soaring pipes, McKinley Mitchell waxed a series of superb Chicago soul platters during the 1960s, later veering stylistically closer to contemporary blues in his last years of performing.
