The 1961 riff John Lennon admitted he stole for the Beatles, Della Reese covers Neil Diamond, 70s inclusive country from downriver Detroit, a trip to the Caribbean, a number one hit on the R&B charts, a song Stevie gave away and another he took back, plus some contenders for the perfect pop song, including one from Detroit’s the Waxwings. Dadgummit, how’s all this music fit in a two-hour show!?
