Day 7
Elvis Presley - If I Can Dream
"We're trapped in a world
That's troubled with pain
But as long as a man
Has the strength to dream
He can redeem his soul and fly"

Day 16 - Vocalist(s)
Bee Gees - Love So Right
Robin's fragile vibrato took the lead in the 60's, whereas there was more of Barry's soaring falsetto latterly, as on this, their masterpiece.

Day 6
Smokey Robinson - Baby, Baby Don't Cry
"Nothing so blue as a heart in pain
Nothing so sad as a tear in vain"
Is he talking about himself, or his longed for lover ?
My favourite Smokey song.

Day 13 - A Comfort Song
Aretha Franklin- Call Me
"Oh-oh-oh-oh, call me
(Call me) call me the hour (the hour)
Call me the minute (the minute)
The second that you get there?"
It's nice to be loved, but, he better drop that dime.

Curtis Mayfield - Future Shock
"We've got to stop all men
From messing up the land
When won't we understand?
This is our last and only chance"
Ain't that the truth.

Day 12 - 4 Letters
Jay - Z & Kanye West- Otis
The guys trading verses to thrilling effect, undercut by Otis's finest performance.
"Jay is chillin' , Ye is chillin'
What more can I say? We killin' 'em"

Day 10 - Song
Frank Sinatra - Without A Song
"I'll-a never know what makes that rain to fall
I'll never know what makes the grass so tall

Without a song"
Aristolian in it's profoundity.

Day 9 - One
Sister Sledge - One More Time
The Chic produced album "We Are Family", had so many hits on it that this fine sinuous groove, got a bit lost.

Day 9 - Spoilt For Choice
Luther Vandross - Since I Lost My Baby
"Good things are bad
And what's happy is sad"
Smokey nailing that feeling of deep, inconsolable despair. Fine as The Temptations version is, this is the one.

Day 8 - It's Very Nice To Go Travelling
Bobby Short - I Happen To Like New York
Ah, the wit of Cole Porter, God how we need him now. It's hard to imagine him prospering in Hackensack though.

Day 8 - No
Gladys Knight - No One Could Love You More
Right back at'cha Gladys. That throaty imperious voice, Jamerson's joyous bassline & the Pips harmonising impeccably. A good track to play if there's domestic "agita" in the air.
