- I Got'cha'-Greenflow (Jazz meets R&B in about the best possible way here. This 1977 track, with its of-its-time whispered, minimalist vocals and laid-back groove that brings Earth, Wind & Fire to mind, should be better known. If you like the feel of Lenny Kravitz's "It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over," this should appeal to you, as well.)
- My Baby, She's Alright-Scruffy The Cat (A great, crunchy guitar hook, harmonica, and percussion mesh with the vocals perfectly in this strong exhibit of why some of us can't get enough power pop. This is from 1987; I don't know how I hadn't heard it until recently. "She" by The Brothers Steve would sound great before or after it.)
- Georgy Porgy-Toto (It was a surprise to hear this on WSIE. I'd forgotten how appealing its melody is. To me, it sounds somewhere between "Took The Last Train" by David Gates and Bobby Caldwell's "My Flame.")
- Deja Vu-Dionne Warwick (An ideal track for a Quiet Storm format; these are some of Warwick's sultriest vocals.)
- The Purple Condor-Danilo Perez (A mystical odyssey that lasts almost nine minutes; with appealing orchestral backing and Perez on piano.)
- We Can Be Together-Jefferson Airplane (The essence of 1969, with its idealism and generation gap encapsulated in the band's best song.)
- As I Look Into The Fire-Heartsfield (Speaking of late '60s idealism, this tune has it in its lyrics, as well, despite being released in 1975. If you were to change the key of the famous guitar lick in "Long Train Runnin'" by The Doobie Brothers and give it a sunnier chord sequence, this would be the result.)
