- I Want To Hold Your Hand-Gary McFarland & Antonio Carlos Jobim (Just when you think you've heard everything, you hear an early Beatles hit reinterpreted as a cha-cha.)
- In My Life-Astrud Gilberto (When lyrics about looking back at one's life are this thoughtful and sentimental, you're on safe, solid ground singing them. This was another unexpected Beatles cover.)
- Theme From "The Pink Panther"-Jack McDuff (McDuff plays the theme with its requisite coolness on the organ. It's impressive when a well-known theme works equally well on multiple instruments. Laurence Juber also plays an impressive rendition of this on guitar.)
- Today I Sing The Blues-Randy Crawford & Joe Sample (It was a pleasure to hear this vocalist and stellar Crusaders keyboardist, whose talents meshed so well on "Street Life," collaborate again.)
- Tom Sawyer-Rush (Years ago, I overheard a local singer attempt to cover this at someone's backyard party. It hit home how difficult "Tom Sawyer" is to sing and how only Geddy Lee can do it justice.)
- Things Can Only Get Better-Howard Jones (One of his strongest '80s hits, with a reasonable outlook in its lyrics.)
