"Share Your Love with Me" by Aretha Franklin, which keeps hitting me this week for personal reasons. I realized recently that "This Girl's In Love with You" was the only 'sixties/1970 lp by Aretha I had only on vinyl and not on cd, and corrected that quickly. And got stuck on that song.

Not a jazz track, but an indie pop-rock one--a lost song by the La's (UK group that recorded one legendary album):

I Am the Key

I played that album to death in 1991! I don't know if you ever heard of The Coral - another Liverpudlian group (they seem to have disappeared after about 2004). I always felt they were cut from the same cloth, right down to their singer being a dead ringer for Lee Mavers.

I've heard of them, but I haven't actually heard them--thanks, rdavenport, I'll check 'em out. A lot of that La's stuff from 1987-90 just strikes me as pop genius.

A fair bit of competition, but Gene Ammons' "Five O'Clock Whistle" from the album "Up Tight" (OJC)-- just one shapely swinging melody after another. What a player.

Gene Ammons was a frequent listening choice on my holiday road trip. So much swinging soulful music.

Joe Lovano playing William Walton's 'Touch Her Sweet Lips and Part' from Peter Erskines Sweet Soul. This variation on a folk tune never fails to impress me.

Altogther an excellent cd which should be better known.

Yes! I agree! That is an incredibly beautiful and moving performance.

Isn't that a William Walton piece from his Henry V music rather than a folk tune? (sorry...just being pedantic!)

I don't know that record, but Erskine also recorded it on one of the trio albums he made with John Taylor on ECM. It's a lovely tune.
