#45 NEW YORK STATE OF MIND Barbra Streisand & Billy Joel

When Barbra Streisand first covered "New York State Of Mind" in 1977, its composer Billy Joel gained more prominence. Joel had recorded his original the previous year. The 2 New York natives collaborated on a new interpretation of the standard for Streisand's 'Partners' album in 2014.

#44 SILENT TEARS Marcia Hines

Marcia Hines proved she could still deliver a sad song with "Silent Tears" from her 2014 album 'Amazing'. She helped co-write this track, with its pertinent and topical lyrics. 

#43 FIND THE RIVER R.E.M.

The original version of "Find The River" was on R.E.M.'s excellent 1992 album 'Automatic for the People'. The version here is from the 2014 compilation set from the group's 2 MTV Unplugged sessions, which reminds us of the song's beauty.

#42 REQUIEM Gary Barlow

Take That's Gary Barlow and Robbie Williams co-wrote "Requiem", a Beatlesque tongue in cheek track from the former's solo album 'Since I Saw You Last'. It's the best moment on the album but was surprisingly not released as a single.
