- "Just Good Songs"
"These are just good songs: really well-made records; good solid melodies, which always is key for me; and endurance. In other words, you can endure it. you can hear it, it doesn't beat you up after 6 or 7 hearings, you know? Or 6 or 7 months, or 6 or 7 years. It's still good to hear it."
- 1. "Yesterday" by Shirley Horn: "'Yesterday' is one of the greatest songs the Beatles wrote. I always gravitate towards the original, with Paul singing. But you start looking for cover versions, and one of my all-time favorite singers is Shirley Horn. She is one of the most eloquent in reading the lyric. She just has always killed me . . ."
- 5. "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by Diana Ross: "Here's one of the special songs to come out in the last 25-30 years. One of the great ones. This one stands out. Top echelon of great performance. Some of those records are so unique that were made in Motown/Detroit. The writers were great. It's probably the best song they've ever written, in my opinion."
