Well done. Thanks for including Natalie Cole. I had no idea she recorded Pink Cadillac until I was poking around on Youtube after hearing about her death. I prefer her version to Aretha's now.

(Radio dial: Patti Smith Group - Because The Night)


 I went to see Broooce at Madison Square Garden, Thanksgiving night 1980.  When he did "Because the Night", which we weren't expecting, my buddy turned to me and said "think he'll do 'Frederick' too?"
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round
