TALKING HEADS “Once In A Lifetime” (1980)

THE NEW BASEMENT TAPES “When I Get My Hands On You” (2014)

A SUPER group with Jim James (My Morning Jacket), Elvis Costello, Marcus Mumford (Mumford and Sons), Taylor Goldsmith (Dawes) and Rhiannon Giddens (Carolina Chocolate Drops)

This group was brought together to record dozens of songs based on song lyrics that Bob Dylan wrote back in 1967. The group was filmed for a Showtime Documentary called “Lost Songs: The Basement Tapes Continued”

NINA SIMONE “My Baby Just Cares For Me” (1958)

This song resurfaced in 1987 for a Chanel ad. She was pissed because the song was re-released and peaked at #5 on the UK charts and she saw NO royalty checks for her work.
