Ok, so now we know that Scott is a smartypants.

A couple of comments on Russ's list:

God Bless the Child - One of Billie's best (which I think she co-wrote).

A Song for You - another one of my favorites. I use to do it with our old (previous) female vocalist after we heard Christina Aguilera do it with Herbie Hancock.

What are you doing the rest of my life - Dusty Springfield just flat out nailed this beautiful tune. The chord changes are to die for.

Work Song - the fact that someone is doing some Oscar Brown, Jr. practically brings a tear to my eye. I love every thing he did, from the very poignant "Brown Baby" and "Bid 'em in, Bid 'em in" to the funny but thoughtful "Dat dere" to the side-splitting "But I Was Cool". Russ, you never cease to amaze me. I hope musicians like you live forever.
