Seventy years since kicking off his music career in his hometown of Nashville, Charles “Wigg” Walker is still madly in love with music. This Love is Gonna Last is the soul singer’s first album in more than a decade, and a testament to surviving all that life throws at you. Dedicated to his late-wife, who passed in 2024, the album is a joyful celebration of life from an artist who has performed with the a Mt. Rushmore of musicians, including James Brown, Jackie Wilson, Etta James, Otis, Redding and Sam Cooke. While his own work never released the heights of popularity experienced by those singers, Walker carries the flame of soul music’s heights, as a legend in his own right. Hosted on Acast.
