'60s On 6
- Because-The Dave Clark Five (I'd swear I've heard at least a few hundred songs with lyrics that only feel about 10 or 15% different from these. Yet, I always let this song play out when I hear it on the radio. That's a testimony to how well the group conveyed universal sentiments.)
- Winning-Santana (Not a typical pop hit arrangement; I haven't heard it on the radio in years, so it was a breath of fresh air to hear this tale of triumph again. I also remember hearing it as a listener's dedication to herself on "American Top 40." That was also atypical.)
- King Of The Road-She & Him (A solid cover from a surprising source. I never expected to hear Zooey Deschanel sing this, but she pulls it off.)
- Father And Daughter-Paul Simon (I always thought this track was underplayed on the radio. Simon's heartfelt lyrics and low-key delivery on this tune should resonate with many families.)
- Paris Eyes-Larry Young (A pleasant organ groove that would segue with "Strollin'," as performed by the Gene Harris Quartet.)
- Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing-Stevie Wonder (An ear-catching piano vamp with instant atmosphere and vocals to match; this is one of Wonder's most appealing efforts--and that's saying something for an artist whose career exceeds 50 years.)
- Wade In The Water-Ramsey Lewis (If you like the way Lewis plays "The In Crowd," this should also appeal to you. The horns augment an already strong tune.)
- Soulful-Cal Harris, Jr. (A piano and saxophone groove that throbs appealingly.)
