Ram On- Paul McCartney
I saw a friend perform this on his Instagram account. He did a fine job. Here's the original.
The Groom's Still Waiting At The Altar- Bob Dylan
From my favorite Dylan album that no one cares about, "Shot of Love." Actually, that's not completely true. It was a b-side, then tacked on to later pressings of "Shot Of Love."
Thunder & Rain- Ellen Foley
The great voice of Ellen Foley, singing Graham Parker, with help from Ian Hunter and produced by Mick Ronson.
What Do You See In Her- Inell Young
A deep funk track from New Orleans, it was the only single Inell Young released. $600-$1000, if you can find an original. $20 for a UK repress.
I Get Lifted- George McRae
McRae had a #1 with "Rock Your Baby," but I think this is the better track. "I Get Lifted" just barely cracked the Top 40. What's wrong with people?!!
The Rain Came Down On Everything- The Flashcubes
Social media discussion about an upcoming remaster of Roy Wood's classic "Mustard"--is it a work of genius or a self-indulgent mess? I voted for "work of genius." Many voted for "self-indulgent mess." I took myself out of the discussion when the Jeff Lynne bashing began. (I will have NONE of that.) Anyway, here are The Flashcubes with a gorgeous cover of a gorgeous tune from "Mustard."
Emerald Eyes- Jimmy Page
Page's first proper solo record "Outrider" is indeed a mess. But there are two terrific songs. This is one of them.

Thanks for this!
Yes! Seconded. Cheers!
Regarding George McCrae - I'm with you on I Get Lifted being a better tune than Rock Your Baby....but better than both is It's Been So Long - you've got to love those drums!
