Quite probably the best, most heart rending cover version of this classic song. Beautiful.

Written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong for Motown Records in 1966. First production by Gladys Knight and The Pips in 1967 reached number two on the billboard chart. Marvin Gaye put it on his 1968 album, "In The Groove". He also released it as a single and it was the number 1 song on the Billboard Pop Singles Chart for 7 weeks. It also became the biggest hit single on the Motown label for quite some time. CCR made an 11 minute version for their 1970 album, "Cosmo's Factory".
The song is a satire of televangelism, released in a period when several televangelists such as Jimmy Swaggart, Robert Tilton and Jim Bakker were under investigation for promising financial success to their listeners, provided they sent money to them. The song reached No. 10 in Canada, No. 20 in the United Kingdom and No. 23 in the United States.

A song about a man dodging a military draft. First recorded in 1971 for the Led Zeppelin 4 album, it ended up being on the Physical Graffiti album to help fill the double album release.

A largely instrumental song written by David Bowie in 1977 for his "Heroes" album. A tribute to Florian Schneider, co-founder of the band Kraftwerk, whom Bowie acknowledged as an significant influence at the time. The title also referenced the V-2 rocket, the first ballistic missile, developed for the German army in World War II. The design and engineers played a key role in the development of the U.S. space program.

This song was created by bass player Ronald LaPread. It didn't have words put to it at the time they were working on the "Commodores" album which was released in 1977. While rushing from gig to gig, LaPread's wife, Cathy, began to experience abdominal pain and had to lie in the back seat of their car. Eventually, it got so bad that Cathy had to go to the hospital where it was discovered that she had large tumors in her womb. Sadly, she died weeks later. When LaPread submitted the song for consideration, he was told it was good, but didn't have a middle. Lionel Richie had a song with a middle, but no beginning. They worked on it together and worked out the words for the song. It ended up being a tribute to Ronald's wife, Cathy.
