Fats Waller's "I"m Crazy 'Bout My Baby" was written and first recorded by him in 1931, and then re-recorded in different versions over the next dozen years of his life. This mix includes a 1931 version by Ted Lewis as well as a version by Louis Armstrong & His All-Stars from his 1955 album Satch Plays Fats and a version by Tom Waits featured in the 1992 Jeff Bridges film American Heart.
One other sing repeats this week, Michael Johnson's top 20 hit "This Night Won't Last Forever" from 1979 and Bob Dylan's contemporaneous studio rehearsal version.
The rest: the vocal track to Earth, Wind & Fire's "September", the Tivan throat singing of D. Damba-Darja with "Artyy Sayyr", Imaad Wasif and Two Part Beast with the atmospheric "Oceanic", The Cranberries anguished "Zombie", Egyptian Lover's early alias Jamie Jupiter's "Computer Power", Niteflyte's post-disco song "If You Want It", Dj Jazzy Jeff's Barry White-sampling "Hold It Down" with Method Man, an extended version of Minnie Riperton's "Perfect Angel", Redbone's 1974 top 5 hit "Come And Get Your Love", Lee Hazlewood's dramatic "The Nights", Kayne West's recently leaked "Life Of A Party" with Andre 3000, Hall & Oates' melodic "Lily (Are You Happy)" from heir 1972 debut album Whole Oat, Mazzy Star's ethereal "Happy" and Teddy Grace's blissful "Turn Off The Moon".
