Escape
- This Masquerade-Norm Geller (George Benson made the tune famous, and Geller shows that it also works as a piano-based easy listening cover.)
- Five O'Clock World-The Vogues (One of the most cathartic tunes about leaving the pressures of work behind when you head home.)
- Between You And Me-dc Talk (Good lyrics about clearing one's conscience in a pleasant arrangement; WVRV, our former station known as "The River," used to play this.)
- Stars Fell On Alabama-Cannonball Adderley/George Duke (An ideal vehicle for excellent sax solos--and harmonica solos, as Toots Thielemans proves on his rendition.)
- When I Fall In Love-Linda Ronstadt (Equally at home in a traditional jazz, smooth jazz, or music-of-your-life format. This is one of Ronstadt's most effective covers, as she sings it with such feeling and holds each note for the precisely appropriate amount of time.)
- A House Is Not A Home-Dionne Warwick (Warwick sings this with an effective blend of grandeur and resignation.)
- Thin Line Between Love And Hate-The Persuaders (The Persuaders sing this with a convincing level of understanding.)
- Kings-Kevin Toney (A cool breeze of a piano melody, in the way that Freddie Ravel's "Sunny Side Up" is; I was always glad to see this come up on KNJZ's playlist.)
