The WP Daily Word—Undulate
I’m reminded of a song of my youth. Gypsy Woman by Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions. It describes a lovely, dark-haired woman dancing around a campfire light. The song is full of imagery and longing. The images are so vivid that every time I hear the song, I can see her body undulate as all the men sit crosslegged near the campfire, entranced.
Today I found a different recording of the song, but I’m sure you will love it as much as I loved Mr. Mayfield’s rendition. Let it inspire you to relax, unwind, and dream. Allow your body to undulate to the smooth sounds of music!
Thanks for a wonderful review, Mae! It means so much😍

Ahhh yea… Curtis Mayfield. That song goes back for me. A good one. This version is good too. Old school here with the original. It does take me back.

Thanks, Penny! Your Curtis Mayfield version was a later, jazzier version. I had to go way back to find the one I remembered growing up. https://youtu.be/3Wd4tlX5t-Q
I hope you will give it a listen when you get a chance.
