This week's mix features The Lovin' Spoonful's "Didn't Want To Have To Do It". Included with the original are covers by Jackie DeShannon, falsetto-voiced cult hero Ralfi Pagan and Peggy Lee performing live.
The other song featured this week is Bob Dylan's "When I Paint My Masterpiece". The covers here alongside the original are by Emmylou Harris, The Band and Elvis Costello live with Harris and Gillian Welch.
Lou Rawls' sublime cover of "She's Gone" by Hall & Oates is followed by their own live cover of Billy Paul's "Me And Mrs. Jones".
"Footprints" by A Tribe Called Quest samples the iconic horns of "Sir Duke" by Stevie Wonder. On here, it is followed by Stevie's "Boogie On Reggae Woman".
John Waite's cheesy but poignant "Missing You" reminds me so much of the end of junior high school, as does the song following it here: the "Knight Rider Theme" by Stu Phillips and Glen Larson.
I have "It's All Right " by The Impressions on here as well as a live cover on the BBC by The Zombies. They are followed by Led Zeppelin, also performing on the BBC, with "Stairway To Heaven".
The rest: early MF Doom with K.M.D.'s mellow "Sorcerers", Nas' uplifting "One Love" and a beautiful spare acoustic version of "What To Do" by Buddy Holly.
