Today's Morning Edition music is from McKinley Mitchell with "What Love Will Make You Do."

It's one of the tracks on a collection put out by Minneapolis-based Secret Stash Records.

They have acquired music recorded by a now defunct Chicago-based label called One-derful Records.

Over the next year, Secret Stash will be releasing six CDs of One-derful music recorded between 1962 and 1971.

Mitchell was the first star the label signed. This previously unreleased song was recorded in 1962.
