The Sister Janet Mead version on Spotify is a re-record. Here's the original, with wah-wah/fuzz guitar at the start. Not heard this before - it's surprisingly bearable.

The Redbone song on the other hand is precisely why I follow these threads. I have heard it before but I didn't know who it was by until now. Such a joyous track. The Rick Derringer is another find for me.

The Entertainer.
First heard this on the radio as a kid and thought it had the greatest melody I had ever heard. Solo piano renditions are better but Marvin Hamlisch's version is great too.

Nah just kidding. This is “Come and Get Your Love” in a walk. A perfect pop song.

I voted for "Seasons in the Sun." Even if this isn't my preferred version, its still such a weird, spooky song.

Felt the same when I was 11, then Reservoir Dogs made me hear it new. Then the Jays killed it again.
