Comes love Back in your own backyard No good man Your mother's son-in-law No more Sugar Guilty One for my baby (and one more for the road) Sophisticated lady I loves you porgy Detour ahead When you're smiling My old flame All the way Please don't talk about me when i'm gone But not for me Life begins when you're in love Say it isn't so Romance in the dark Remember East of the sun These 'n' that 'n' those You turned the tables on me One, two, button your shoe Am i blue? Just one of those things You're driving me crazy Our love is here to stay Spreadin' rhythm around That's life i guess Too marvelous for words Getting some fun out of life Falling in love again I hear music Gone with the wind Darn that dream All or nothing at all Guess who Mandy is two I can't face the music Why was i born? Time on my hands It's a sin to tell a lie Prelude to a kiss My last affair If my heart could only talk Laughing at life Do nothin' till you hear from me If the moon turns green On the sentimental side Yesterdays (junior boys remix) The end of a love affair Deep song I'm yours I'll get by (as long as i have you) My man (mon homme) Sentimental and melancholy What a night, what a moon, what a girl We'll be together again Ain't misbehavin' He ain't got rhythm I get a kick out of you Jim Please keep me in your dreams Riffin' the scotch Gee baby, ain't i good to you I'm painting the town red Always Twenty-four hours a day Jeepers creepers Ain't nobody's business if i do Under a blue jungle moon Don't worry 'bout me The blues are brewin' You showed me the way Yankee doodle never went to town Day in, day out I don't want to cry anymore Wherever you are Practice makes perfect If dreams come true Sun showers Born to love How am i to know? Yours and mine Lover man (oh, where can you be?) I'm gonna lock my heart Porgy I'll look around Blue turning grey over you You're just a no account I've got a date with a dream Travelin' all alone Do your duty How deep is the ocean? I wish i had you The same old story Things are looking up Just friends That's all i ask of you Ill wind When it's sleepy time down south You're so desirable Long gone blues (gxr remix) Now they call it swing My first impression of you Forget if you can You're a lucky guy Summertime (organica remix) You took advantage of me Sometimes i'm happy East of the sun (and west of the moon) Baby get lost Eeny meeny miney mo Hello, my darling What's new Softly You've changed - studio rio version I'm pulling through You're gonna see a lot of me Spreadin' rhythm around (lady bug vs. lady day rr remix) Rocky mountain blues Everybody's laughing Keeps on rainin' A sunbonnet blue Everything happens for the best How could you? There'll be some changes made Let's do it (let's fall in love) You can't lose a broken heart The moon looks down and laughs What is this going to get us? More than you know (jazzeem's throwback remix) I gotta right to sing the blue Do you know what it means to miss new orleans I hear music (swingsett & takuya's mighty fine remix) 'deed i do Baby i don't cry over you Says my heart One never knows, does one? Baby won't you please come home Here it is tomorrow again I hadn't anyone till you Girls were made to take care of boys Dream a little dream of me Dream of life Be fair with me baby You're too lovely to last This is heaven to me A sunbonnet blue (and a yellow straw hat) Please tell me now I'm gonna lock my heart (and throw away the key) (madison park remix) Smoke gets in your eyes Easy living - single version Ghost of a chance Everything a good man needs I'm restless I'm in a low down groove Tell me more Isn't this a lovely day? Discussion I got it bad and that ain't good My sweet hunk o' trash I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you What shall i say? Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer Saddest tale I don't know if i'm coming or going I cried for you (now it's your turn to cry over me) Strange fruit - tricky/tool remix Misty My funny valentine Me, myself and i (are all in love with you) Trav'lin' all alone (nikodemus & zeb remix) Why did i always depend on you? Someone to watch over me When you're smiling (the whole world smiles with you) You can't be mine (and someone else's too) My man - toro y moi remix All of me (charles feelgood & gil remix) Fitzgerald, vaughan But beautiful (tony humphries remix) Gershwin: porgy & bess - summertime No more (alternate take) What a difference a day makes Studio talk Let's call a heart to heart Bye bye blackbird A yiddishe momme I'm walkin' through heaven with you Israel Farewell to storyville Johnny mercer announcement Cry me a river Riffs Talk Talk about early career I wonder where our love has gone Having myself a fine time Gimmie a pigfoot Georgia
