KWMU-2 (St. Louis, MO)
- I Get A Kick Out Of You-Louis Armstrong (Some vocalists make the mistake of sounding too slick or contrived when singing this. Armstrong doesn't, opting for a more sincere approach.)
- Close To Me-Lake Street Dive (Rachael Price sings these "Proceed with caution" lyrics with considerable conviction and bluesy grit.)
- The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face-Roberta Flack (A natural fit for Flack's voice.)
- You Are The Sunshine Of My Life-Stevie Wonder (Some sentiments flow so naturally, you wonder how no one had written or sung them until then. Seek out the episode of "Saturday Night Live" Wonder hosted in the '80s, in which he pretends his real name is Trevor Smith and leads the audience in a reworked version of this famous hit, retitled "You Are The Sunshine Of Me Life.")
- Love Will Keep Us Together-The Captain & Tennille (Still one of the best pop hooks about holding onto someone; it doesn't surprise me that this was the most popular song of 1975.)
