Track 4 is from an eponymous-but-not-debut album by an acclaimed modern singer-songwriter who died young.

Track 21 was by far the biggest career hit for this performer, and won the Grammy for best song in 1969. The writrer of the song wrote a few other big hits of the period for other people; the singer later retired to be a preacher.

Track 23 was a big doo-wop hit in 1961, and was later covered by a member of a famous family group.
