Screwed-up people make great art. (OK, GrooveLily’s song from their Striking 12 musical was about Hans Christian Andersen, but it definitely applies here as well.)

You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' – The Righteous Brothers

Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) – Darlene Love

Why Do Lovers Break Each Others Hearts – Bob B. Soxx and the Blue Jeans

There’s No Other Like My Baby – The Crystals

Spanish Harlem – Ben E. King

Ebb Tide – The Righteous Brothers

Be My Baby – The Ronettes

He’s A Rebel – The Crystals*

Hung On You – The Righteous Brothers

Do I Love You – The Ronettes
