  14. Wow, there are some great lists here! Here is mine for what it’s worth. I would add however, that I have seen all the artists on my list perform these songs live!

    A – All of Me, Frank Sinatra
    E – Every Time You Go Away, Paul Young
    I – In The Living Years, Mike & The Mechanics (with the brilliant Paul Carrack on vocals. One of the most under appreciated vocalists ever).
    O – On Broadway, George Benson
    U – Unchain My Heart, Ray Charles
    Y – You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me, Dusty Springfield (possibly one of the world’s greatest pop singers ever).

    ENJOY!

  15. I’ll have to check out everyone else’s lists tomorrow, but let’s see what I can do:
    A: Ask Me Why — Beatles
    E: Everything That Touches You — Association
    I: I Only Have Eyes Fro You — Flamingos
    O: On The Way Home — Buffalo Springfield
    U: Up On The Roof — Drifters
    Y: You Didn’t Have To Be So Nice — Loving Spoonful

    That’s off the top of my head.

    We should do another IOTW Radio with these lists. Maybe we can find someone to introduce them.
