Don't Let Love Slip Away
Freddie Jackson ·1988
"Oh, this is Freddie Jackson, it's obvious, hello. Just take a risk, get the hit. If it's got a hit that you know on it... 'If You Don't Know Me By Now,' on this record so I'm gonna listen to side two a lot."

Heart Food
Judee Sill ·1973
"Oh Judee Sill, 'Heart Food.' Serious jams, sad story. She was really adored by all of those Laurel Canyon people I think and was from the Bay Area and I don't think... she kind of just didn't make it out. She had a really religious upbringing, but she's a songwriting genius."
