Noodlin’ on this catchy jazz tune composed by Bobby Timmons and recorded by Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers in 1958.

Moanin'

Haunting love song written by late record producer (and convicted murderer) Phil Spector. The Teddy Bears recorded it with a female vocalist in 1958. It was #1 on Billboard for three weeks. Many artists have recorded it since then. When men sing the song, the title is changed to “To Know You Is to Love You.”

To Know Him Is to Love Him

Popular 1949 blues song composed in by Beasley Smith with lyrics by Haven Gillespie. Recorded over the years by many artists, including Frankie Lane, Louis Armstrong, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Johnny Cash and Frank Sinatra. 

That Lucky Old Sun

Doo-Wop song recorded by The Five Satins in 1956 (which bears no resemblance to Cole Porter’s 1936 song by the same name).

In the Still of the Night

50 Ways to Leave Your Lover
