"Almost Saturday Night" by Karla DeVito

Karla DeVito (no relation to Danny) rose to fame as a backup singer on Meatloaf's classic "Bat Out Of Hell" tour. Her solo career never took off, though, despite her bright yet meaty vocals. Her debut album, "Is This A Cool World Or What" almost spawned a top 100 hit with her cover of the Grass Roots's "Midnight Confession". Another well done cover on this record is her version of "Just One Smile", originally by Blood, Sweat & Tears. Her cover of John Fogerty's "Almost Saturday Night" is my favorite, though. 

DeVito released another noncharting record in 1986 called "Wake 'Em Up In Tokyo" and also had a song called "We Are Not Alone" featured on the soundtrack to The Breakfast Club. 

"I Can't Quit Her" by Blood, Sweat & Tears

Blood, Sweat & Tears (BST) dominated the late 60s and 70s with their trademark blend of rock, brass, and jazz. Most of their hits featured their second vocalist, the amazing David Clayton-Thomas, but the band's debut album shouldn't be overlooked. Released in 1968, "Child Is Father To The Man" featured founding member Al Kooper on lead vocals. The album reached #47 on the Billboard Top 200, without a hit single.

The endurance of this classic album was noted by Rolling Stone magazine, which ranked it #264 in its 2003 list of the top 500 albums of all-time. "I Can't Quit Her" is just one of the terrific tunes from this record.
