1. Remember Me – Diana Ross – Having just seen Valerie Simpson live Friday night, and discovering Diana was somewhere in the audience, I went back to this masterpiece from 1970. A stirring Motown giant of a song, "Remember me as a big balloon at a carnival that ended too soon". RIP Nick – Grade: A+

4. I Need A Man – Lael Summer – Funkalicious – Grade: A
5. Wintertime Love – The Doors – When I wondered why my niece Louba wanted this to be her wedding song, she noted it was a waltz after all – Grade: B+
6. Thunderbolt – Eugene McGuinness – One of the best arranged songs I've heard all year, the drum roll that spearheads it is so great and the orchestra that takes over a real surprise – Grade: A
