1. America-West Side Story
Stephen Sondheim wrote the lyrics for the song, which he says years later after th 1957 original release don't hold up. It's "embarrassing." He quesitoned at the time whether he was the right person to write the lyrics. He said he had never even met a Puerto Rican, yet he had to capture the racial tension of the city and the era.
2. David Bowie--Life On Mars
Bowie came up with this song after he was asked to put English lyrics to a French song called "comme d'habitude." The rights were bought and it was rewritten as "My Way," made famous by Frank Sinatra. "Life on Mars" uses the same chords and the song was inspired by Frankie.
3. Stevie Wonder--Master Blaster
Stevie Wonder and Bob Marley were good friends and talked about holding a huge concert event where Marley would play his Survival album and Wonder would play Journey Through The Secret Life Of Plants. (Both came out in 1979). Marley got cancer, then injured his toe playing soccer and refused to have it amputated due to his Rastafarian beliefs, which led to the disease. The Hotter Than July album was released in 1980 and Marley passed away 8 months later. It is the opening lin eof this song that inspired the title o fthe album "Everyon'es feeling pretty, it's hotter than July."
4. The Weepies--Can't Go Back Now
