Acid jazz band The Brand New Heavies covered Maria Muldaur's 70s hit "Midnight at the Oasis" on their 1994 album 'Brother Sister'. The song was written by David Nichtern. The remake features a gorgeous lead vocal from N'Dea Davenport.

#1244 THEME FROM S'EXPRESS S'Express
Mark Moore and Pascal Gabriel formed S'Express and crafted this house hit around a sample of Rose Royce's disco song "Is It Love You're After". The latter had been written by Miles Gregory. "Theme from S'Express" was released in 1988 and reached #1 in the UK.

#1245 DON'T YOU WORRY 'BOUT A THING Incognito
Stevie Wonder's composition "Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing" received an acid jazz makeover from the group Incognito in 1992.
 
The list is a ranking made up of the songs I enjoy the most, ranked in order of preference: the higher we go, the more I cherish them. Some were released as singles, others as album tracks. Some are obscure; others were worldwide hits or have universal appeal. They aren't always the most famous or popular, but simply a personal choice.This expanded section now includes songs from the last few years. I hope you find some new tracks to love, or re-discover some past favourites.
5 new songs are added every day from #1201-1500 as well as continuing the ascent through 1 of the remaining songs to #1 daily.
