"Everything Under The Sun" was recorded by The Ronettes with Phil Spector producing but was never released until years later, after they disbanded. This mix features this would-be single along with covers The Walker Brothers and Jackie DeShannon.
"Keep A Knockin' An You Can't Get In" was first recorded by "Boodle-It" Wiggins in 1928 but was revived enough over the years, across various genres under slightly different titles, enough to become something of a standard. This mix features the first of his two versions, as well as a Bob Wills & the Texas Playboys' 1938 version and perhaps the most famous version by Little Richard from 1958. Led Zeppelin's "Rock And Roll", also here, from their untitled 4th album from 1971 lifts the same opening drum beat.
One other song repeats this week: two love versions of the Sammy Cahn composition "I Refuse To Rock And Roll", one by Marlene Dietrich at The Sahara Hotel in Las Vegas in 1955 and another By Julie Wilson at The St. Regis Hotel in Manhattan in 1958.
The rest: the guitar crunch of "I'm Rowed Out" by mid-6os British band The Eyes, the 1908 origin story recording "Parson Spencer's Discourse On Adam And Eve" by Len Spencer, Larry Williams & Johnny 'Guitar' Watson's folksy "Nobody", the Bollywood-sample heavy "Main Title" by Madlib, the menacing "Rivers Of Blood" by The Wu-Tang Clan with Kool G Rap, the eerie "The Order Of Death" by Public Limited Ltd., Dexter Wansel's mellow "The Sweetest Pain" featuring Terri Wells on vocals, Stevie Wonder's bubbly "Part-Time Lover" Wilson Pickett's anguished cover of Bill Withers' "Hope She'll be Happier With Him", Andre 3000's clever "Solo (Reprise)" from Frank Ocean's album Blonde, Wynonna Carr's pleading "Please Mr. Jailer", the swinging "Nightcrawler" by Czarface with Method Man, Georgia Carr's tender "Softly" and the end title "Wonkavator" to the 1971 film Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory written by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley.
