I just heard the LOVE version of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", with George Martin's beautiful string arragement. I find this version so powerful and that I was drawn back into a memory made it even more so. Good stuff. Martin made a great decision to use the demo version from Anthology as the base of the remix. As great as the White Album version is, Harrison's demo is really moving. I don't know which is better. I think it's a great song on either album, and I especially like that the extra lyrics made their way into the LOVE version.

"The Makings Of You" by either Gladys Knight & The Pips or Curtis Mayfield. To me, this is what represents orchestral arrangement soul of the 70s
William DeVaughn "Be Thankful For What You've Got": Beautiful message. It's one of those one-hit-wonder oldies hits that always comes on the radio, but I never seem to get sick of it. I like it how he created odd analogies for "rich" ("diamond in the back" = Custom made, flashy pimp Cadillac with a diamond shaped rear window) and "poor" ("TV antennas in the back" = Old car that can barely get radio reception? Stolen merchandise in the trunk?)
The best lyrically deep, 80s slow burners with a drum machine either goes to Sade (esp. "Bulletproof Soul") or Phil Collins
