CAFFE` LATTE` 
TOP 1200 CHOICE TRACKS


Mid-week bonus - 1 new song will be added every 8 hours throughout today
#330 YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO Carly Simon
The 1980s saw Carly Simon rediscover her pop sensibilities. "Jesse" was a chart smash in Australia. Her collaboration with Nile Rodgers & Bernard Edwards of Chic fame resulted in a Top 10 hit in Britain and "You Know What To Do" found Simon revisit the adult and intimate themes that had attracted audiences to her songcraft in the preceding decade. 
"You Know..." was from her 1983 album 'Hello Big Man'. The song was composed by Simon with music from Peter Wood (who played Memory Moog on the cut) and producer Mike Mainieri with lyrics she co-wrote with Jacob Brackman. Hugh McCracken played acoustic guitar and Rick Marotta contributed drums. 

This is a list 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. I have excluded songs from the last few years in order to get a better idea of a song's lasting impression. I hope you find some new tracks to love, or re-discover some past favourites.
2 new songs are added each day (every 12 hours)  with a mid-week bonus every Wednesday.
