Classic R&B
- Here I Am (Come And Take Me)-Al Green (An effective way-you-make-me-feel tune that oldies stations should play regularly. UB40 covered it, but Green's version is stronger.)
- A Leaf Has Veins-The Free Design (The tune's upbeat feel falls somewhere between Spanky And Our Gang's "Lazy Day" and Simon & Garfunkel's "Feelin' Groovy.")
- Can't Stop The Waves-Caroline Cotter (Cotter's vocals on this new track evoke a feeling similar to that of Sierra Hull's "Black River.")
- Whistle On Occasion-Kim Richey featuring Chuck Prophet (Just released today, this is a highlight of Richey's new release, "Edgeland." Two voices and a guitar illustrate how satisfying it is to savor life's pleasant, so-called minor moments. This could segue with Shawn Colvin's version of Bob Dylan's "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go.")
- Imagination-Art Pepper (A smooth, warm piece for alto sax.)
- Harlem Shuffle-Bob & Earl (Songs about movin' it to the left and right aren't often catchier than this. The Rolling Stones covered it, but it's best heard in this original version.)
- Tighten Up-Archie Bell & The Drells (A justifiably enduring dance tune, with perfect vocal/instrumental synergy. I'm not surprised that oldies stations still play this.)
