When We Grow Up - Diana Ross

When We Grow Up was a song featured in the TV Special Free To Be...You and Me. "When We Grow Up" was performed by Diana Ross on the album and by Roberta Flack and a teenage Michael Jackson on the special. Love the song and love the message.

Papa Was a Rolling Stone - The Temptations

"Papa Was a Rollin' Stone" is a psychedelic soul song, written by Motown songwriters Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong as a single for Motown act The Undisputed Truth in 1971. This version of "Papa" was released as a single in early 1972, and peaked at number 63 on the pop charts and number 24 on the R&B charts.

Later in 1972, Whitfield, who also produced the song, took "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone" and remade it as a 12-minute record for The Temptations, which was a number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and won three Grammy Awards in 1973. While the original Undisputed Truth version of the song has been largely forgotten, The Temptations' version of the song has been an enduring and influential soul classic. It was ranked #168 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, one of the group's three songs on the list. In retrospect, The Temptations' Otis Williams considers "Papa" to be the last real classic the group recorded.

Hotel California - Gipsy Kings

Gipsy Kings. Their cover version of "Hotel California" is an example of fast flamenco guitar leads and rhythmic strumming. Love this version.

Don't Cry For Me Argentina - Madonna

"Don't Cry for Me Argentina" is a song from the 1978 musical Evita with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice. Sung by the title character Eva Perón, it was titled "It's Only Your Lover Returning" before Rice settled on the eventual name. It appears early in the second act as Evita addresses the crowd from the balcony of the Casa Rosada and features a sweeping melody tied to broad emotional themes of regret and defiance, characteristic of Lloyd Webber's most popular songs. Madonna did an amazing job. This is one of my favorite songs to this day.
