The Ramsey Lewis Trio - "The 'In' Crowd"
From the album The In Crowd (1965)

One of the few cases where an instrumental cover of a vocal hit did better on the charts as the original, as jazz-soul great Lewis takes on the Dobie Gray nugget that peaked at #13 the same year..

Jackie DeShannon- 'What The World Needs Now Is Love"
from the album This Is Jackie DeShannon (1965)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #7

I really needed to hear this tonight. For a myriad of reasons.

Glenn Yarbrough - "Baby The Rain Must Fall"

The folk singer went to #2 on the adult-contemporary chart with this theme from the movie starring Steve McQueen and Lee Remick.

The Impressions - "People Get Ready"

Cher, get better. We were only joking about your 'resurrection' tour.
