Vi inleder med Nina Simone's superhit, "My baby just cares for me". Det är en jazzstandard skriven av Walter Donaldson (1893-1947) med text av Gus Kahn (1886-1941). Sången skrevs till filmversionen av musikalen Whoopee! (1930) och blev signaturmelodi för Eddie Cantor (1892-1964) som sjöng sången i filmen.
Nina Simone spelade in en version av sången på sitt debutalbum "Little Girl Blue, 1958. Det blev en av Simones största hits när den återutgavs 1987 och då användes i reklamen för parfymen Chanel No. 5. Källa: Wikipedia

My baby don't care for shows
My baby don't care for clothes
My baby just cares for me
My baby don't care for cars and races
My baby don't care for high-tone places
My baby don't care for clothes
My baby just cares for me
My baby don't care for cars and races
My baby don't care for high-tone places
Liz Taylor is not his style
And even Lana Turner's smile
Is somethin' he can't see
My baby don't care who knows
My baby just cares for me
And even Lana Turner's smile
Is somethin' he can't see
My baby don't care who knows
My baby just cares for me
Baby, my baby don't care for shows
And he don't even care for clothes
He cares for me
My baby don't care
For cars and races
Baby don't care for
He don't care for high-tone places
And he don't even care for clothes
He cares for me
My baby don't care
For cars and races
Baby don't care for
He don't care for high-tone places
Liz Taylor is not his style
And even Liberace's smile
Is something he can't see
Is something he can't see
I wonder what's wrong with baby
My baby just cares for
My baby just cares for
My baby just cares for me
And even Liberace's smile
Is something he can't see
Is something he can't see
I wonder what's wrong with baby
My baby just cares for
My baby just cares for
My baby just cares for me

"Route 66" är en populär rhythm and blues standard, komponerad 1946 av amerikanska låtskrivaren Bobby Troup (1918-1999). Texten i låten följer den federala motorvägen US Route 66 som genomkorsar landet från Chicago till Los Angeles.
