Emmylou Harris with Waylon Jennings - Spanish Johnny

I came to this song through the David Bromberg version, but Emmylou as usual does a nice job. Here she's aided by WJ on harmony vocals.

The Fleetwoods - Come Softly To Me

Ah, the fifties.

RIP Ian McLagan

Not a household name, but widely heard. Here are the two songs on which he played which were probably the biggest hits. Note the electric piano on "Miss You" and the organ on "Maggie May."

Jerry Orbach - Promises, Promises

This is from the original Broadway cast recording. Orbach, probably best known to most people from his long-running role on Law and Order, was an old theater song and dance guy. Reportedly he asked Dionne Warwick for help in how to negotiate Burt Bacharach's tricky rhythms.

nada: if nothing is left, then everything is right

Nothing today, sorry.

Judy Holliday - The Party's Over

A song I came to love at that age (nine?) when grownup emotions start to make a little more sense than they did before.

Iggy Pop & Deborah Harry - Well, Did You Evah

Iggy and Debbie do Cole Porter for the Red Hot + Blue charity compilation from 1990.
