Day 16: New Edition - 'Mr. Telephone Man' (1984).
Written and produced by Ray Parker Jr. This sounds more like his earlier hit 'A Woman Needs Love' than the colossal 'Ghostbusters.'

Day 16: A favorite outro from a '60s song.
Procol Harum - 'Pilgrims Progress' (1969).
At the 3 minute and 11 second mark, this song becomes a classic to me.

Day 16: The centerpiece of my challenge is the 15-minute version of Al Green's 'Beware.' It lasted only eight minutes as the closer to Al's LIVIN' FOR YOU in 1973, but the extended version surfaced on a 1989 rarities comp.

Howlin' Wolf - 'Killing Floor' (1964).
A favorite cover for both Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin, whose 'Lemon Song' is practically a rewrite.

Day 14: Cymande - 'The Message' (1972).
This London fusion group referred to their sound as 'nyah-rock,' but their biggest American hit is straight funk. I first heard it in Spike Lee's 25TH HOUR.
