1. Whitney Houston, “How Will I Know”

Whitney Houston » Arista » 1985

Whitney Houston, Whitney Houston [📷: Arista]“There’s a boy I know, he’s the one I dream of /… When I wake from dreaming, tell me, is it really love?” Whitney Houston (1963 – 2012) earned a number one hit with “How Will I Know”, an awesome record Janet Jackson passed up! “How Will I Know,” written by George Merrill, Shannon Rubicam, and Narada Michael Walden (who also produced), is the quintessential 1980s record.  It successfully straddles pop and R&B, a place where Houston would often find tremendous success as well as an identity crisis.

This innocent record appears as the sixth track on Houston’s 1985 debut album, Whitney Houston.  It commences with an inescapable, electrifying groove. Bright and exuberant, this major key joint never grows old. The chorus is incredibly memorable, including Whitney’s background vocals:

“How will I know if he really loves me?

I say a prayer with every heartbeat

I fall in love whenever we meet

I’m asking you what you know about these things

How will I know if he’s thinking of me?

I try to phone, but I’m too shy (Can’t speak)

Falling in love is so bittersweet

This love is strong, why do I feel weak?”

Houston sings like an angel, owning this memorable gem from the start. Also, like so many of the 80s songs, “How Will I Know” gives us a modulation – aka a key change.  Also, shout out to the music video – #ICONIC!!!

2. Sufjan Stevens, “Will Anybody Ever Love Me?”

Javelin » Asthmatic Kitty » 2023

Sufjan Stevens, Javelin [📷: Asthmatic Kitty]“Will Anybody Ever Love Me?”, a single and highlight from Javelin, the 10th studio album by Academy and Grammy award-nominated singer/songwriter Sufjan Stevens, begins stripped, reminiscent of his folksier music moments of the past.  “Will Anybody Ever Love Me?” commences with a simple, rhythmic accompaniment carried by guitar (or similar acoustic string instrument) supporting his hushed, expressed vocals, and it’s more than enough.  Soon enough, piano joins the mix in the pre-chorus, with Stevens maintains his hushed vocal approach (“Tie me to a tiny wooden raft / Burn my body, point me to the undertow”). The initial chorus that follows grows a bit bigger in scope, but still, Stevens remains cool, calm, and collected – even keeled:

“Will anybody ever love me?

For good reasons

Without grievance, not for sport

Will anybody ever love me?

In every season

Pledge allegiance to my heart

Pledge allegiance to my burning heart.”

Following the first chorus, a more colorful soundscape arrives. In the second verse, not only is the arrangement more ornate instrumentally, but Stevens also adds vocalists who harmonize with him. The lyrics continue to shine with Stevens singing in the final couple lines of the verse, “Take my suffering as I take my vow / Wash me now, anoint me with that golden blade.” Expectedly, the second chorus is much grander – absolutely stunning with its vocal layers and the instrumental touches. The outro is ear-catching, highlighted by the lyric, “My burning heart,” as well as supporting vocalists singing the titular lyric. “Will Anybody Ever Love Me,” dare I say slaps in the most refined, sophisticated way possible!

3. Gloria Gaynor, “I Will Survive”

Love Tracks » UMG Recordings, Inc. » 1978

Gloria Gaynor, Love Tracks [📷: UMG Recordings, Inc.]“At first, I was afraid, I was petrified / Kept thinkin’ I could never live without you by my side…” Yaaasss!!! Those timeless lyrics hail from one of the best disco songs of all time, “I Will Survive”.  Not only is “I Will Survive” an elite, Grammy-winning disco song, but it’s an elite song regardless of genre. It spent three weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. This is the record that Gloria Gaynor (1943 – ) will be forever remembered for. “But then I spent so many nights thinkin’ how you did me wrong / And I grew strong, and I learned how to get along.” #Classic!

“I Will Survive” appears on Gaynor’s 1978 album, Love Tracks. It was an accidental hit – a B Side that was better and far more successful than the A Side. As the excerpted lyrics and title suggest, it’s about surviving, overcoming, and empowerment. Specifically, the lyrics are crafted from a romantic angle, overcoming a troubled relationship: “Weren’t you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye? Did you think I’d crumble? Did you think I’d lay down and die?” That said, the empowering message of survival, over the years, has applied to any number of adverse situations.

“Oh no, not I, I will survive

Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I’m still alive

I’ve got all my life to live, and I’ve got all my love to give

And I’ll survive, I will survive!”

For one of the songwriters, Dino Fekaris (1945 – ), a former Motown hit maker, he survived and overcame adversity after being fired from Motown. For the LGBTQ+ community 🏳️‍🌈, this is a certified gay anthem. Gaynor performs it brilliantly. The production is stellar, incorporating both minimalism and the grandiosity of disco. It should come as no surprise that “I Will Survive” is one of the most covered songs of all time, including a notable cover by CAKE.

4. Central Cee, “I Will”

“I Will” » Columbia » 2024 

Central Cee, I Will [📷: Columbia]“You put on your best ‘fit to the club tonight / You’re tryna find someone to take you home and show you love / If nobody else will, then I will.” Cutting straight to the chase, a more melodic Central Cee wants to take this fine girl home.  And by take her home, he wants to ‘get it in.’ He adds in the chorus of  his single, “I Will”, “Your pussy shaved, you cleaned your bedroom just in case / And you ain’t fucked in couple months, tonight you’re tryna misbehave.” Ooh-wee! Is it her that’s ‘tryna misbehave’ or Cench? Hmm.  Cee wrote this sexed-up joint while John Alexis and LIOHN produced. While Cench suggests he’s not trying to sound perverted, his horniness is prevalent. In the first verse, he admits to seeing her naked, and asserts, “I don’t even know her, fuck until my dick don’t go up,” citing his attraction.  He comments upon the tempo of the action, cleverly spits, “We can go to Phuket, if you fuck with this,” and promises, “Divin’ deep and you gon’ feel it where your stomach is.” In the second verse, once more, he references her shaved private parts, offers his D-giving services (“If I’m awake and I ain’t taken, hit my line, I’ll give you dick”) and requests, “Let me see you arch it, let me break your spinal.” “I Will” is not deep despite how deep Cee is willing to go to please her. But, at least he’s honest about wanting some and doesn’t hold back his urges, I suppose.

5. Cleo Sol, “Things Will Get Better”

Gold » Forever Living Originals » 2023 

Cleo Sol, Gold [📷: Forever Living Originals]“If God called you / At 5 AM / Would you get on your knees / Or get up and leave?” That is a legitimate question, Cleo Sol (Cleopatra Zvezdana Nikolic).  The talented British R&B singer/songwriter continues singing on “Things Will Get Better”, “If He answered your prayers / Would you share His light / Or choose to hide / Or would you stand and rise?” “Things Will Get Better” is the third track from her 2023 album, Gold.  This silky-smooth cut is reflective, exploring spirituality, offering encouragement, and speaking to the power of faith.  Sol penned “Things Will Get Better” alongside her husband, producer Inflo. Sol sounds amazing, singing calmly, coolly, and collectedly.  Her voice is incredibly soothing, complementing the thoughtful lyrics. She characterizes the trials experienced: “You overthink / You’re overwhelmed / Give yourself space / And time will tell / Things will get easier / Things will get better.”  Besides awesome singing and encouraging, uplifting lyrics, the accompaniment is fabulous.  Inflo provides incredibly soulful production work crafted in the neo-soul/jazz/jazz-soul style. The piano sounds warm, the bass is robust, and the drums are punchy.  Compositionally, the harmonic progression shines. Need a lift that you can’t get from the gym? How about the incredible, bright shining light that is “Things Will Get Better”!

6. Del Water Gap, “We Will Never Be Like Anybody Else”

I Miss You Already + I Haven’t Left Yet » Mom+ Pop » 2023

Del Water Gap, I Miss You Already + I Haven’t Left Yet [📷: Mom+ Pop]“I could find a new girl / Who looks right in photos,” Brooklyn-based musician Del Water Gap (S. Holden Jaffe) sings in one of the choruses of “We Will Never Be Like Anybody Else”, the 12th and final track from his 2023 album, I Miss You Already + I Haven’t Left Yet. Jaffe continues singing, “Never shows how she feels / Losing you in slo-mo / We will never be like anybody else.” Throughout this co-write with Sammy Witte, Jaffe delivers expressive, nuanced vocals.  You could characterize his performance as being hypnotic.

“We Will Never Be Like Anybody Else” features poetic and thoughtful lyrics.  Furthermore, the melodies are tuneful throughout, with the chorus serving as the centerpiece – the crème de la crème. The piano accompaniment is fitting on this Witte / Ethan Gruska, successfully capping off  I Miss You Already + I Haven’t Left Yet.  One of the best moments of the song is Jaffe’s most intense verse, which drops an f-bomb,

“Pissing on our feelings

Fuck it, I’m alone now

‘Til I stop believing

We will never be like anybody else.”

Ooh wee! Jaffe pulls back at the end, which is always an incredibly musical touch.  All told, “We Will Never Be Like Anybody Else” is a swell gem courtesy of the talented Del Water Gap.

7. The Three Degrees, “When Will I See You Again”

The Three Degrees » Assorted Music, Inc. d/b/a Philadelphia International » 1973

The Three Degrees, The Three Degrees [📷: Assorted Music, Inc. d/b/a Philadelphia International]“When will I see you again? / When will we share precious moments?” R&B trio The Three Degrees was comprised Sheila Ferguson, Fayette Pinkney, and Valerie Holiday at the time they released their beloved, 1973 classic, “When Will I See You Again”.  This no. 2 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 appeared as the fourth track on their Philadelphia International debut, simply titled The Three Degrees. The record was written and produced by iconic Philadelphia soul architects Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff.  With a lush backdrop (rhythm section, horns, strings), superb songwriting, and the compelling lead vocals of Ferguson, “When Will I See You Again” is epic.

As the excerpted lyrics suggest, matters of the heart drive the narrative of “When Will I See You Again.” This is always a great theme for a soul record.  The Three Degrees have questions regarding the state of the relationship… or lack thereof, possibly.  “When will our hearts beat together?” Ferguson asks, continuing, “Are we in love or just friends? / Is this my beginning or is it the end?” The lyrics are simple but ultra-relatable.  When it comes to someone you like romantically, you want to see them frequently.  In this case, the trio isn’t sure exactly where things stand, hence why this utterly sublime joint is titled with a question, “When Will I See You Again”.  At just about three minutes in duration, this song right here is the definition of three minutes of heaven 😇.

8. Boyce Avenue, “Will You Be There” – Michael Jackson cover

Cover Sessions, Vol. 2 » Peace » 2012

Boyce Avenue, Cover Sessions, Vol. 2 (2023) [📷: Peace]Covering Michael Jackson (1958 – 2009), The King of Pop is arduous to the nth degree. Many artists have covered his songs, but how many of them came close to outshining the King? Boyce Avenue, a band comprised of brothers Alejandro Manzano, Fabian Manzano, and Daniel Manzano, is superb at covering other musicians.  Still, tackling a big song like “Will You Be There”, one of Jackson’s great, later hits, is ambitious.  Guess what? Alejandro (lead vocals) and company nail it.

Alejandro is on autopilot from the jump of this acoustic, piano-driven cover of “Will You Be There,” PERIOD. His tone is radiant.  He sings expressively, milking that beloved, tuneful melody for all its worth (in the most balanced way possible). Alejandro takes his time setting things up, not rushing to get to the biggest moments.  When he ascends the octave in the second verse, it feels like ‘it’s on.’ Eventually, the piano is joined by acoustic guitar and percussion, adding color to the palette.  The intensity grows, with a consistent groove established, and Alejandro riffing commandingly over background vocals (“Hold me / Show / Lay your head lowly / Told me…”).  During this final section – the part we all lick our lips in anticipation for – like the original, Boyce Avenue nails those key changes.  I love how smooth and refined the backing vocals are, while Alejandro truly gives his soul, riffing on the lead. Boyce Avenue honors the king respectfully on this interpretation from Cover Sessions, Vol. 2 (2012).

9. Betty Everett, “There’ll Come A Time”

There’ll Come A Time » Geffen » 1969

Betty Everett, There’ll Come A Time [📷: Geffen]“There’ll come a time in every girl’s life / She’ll have to cry.” Sad but true, Betty Everett (1939 – 2001). Everett earned her third-highest charting hit with “There’ll Come A Time”, which peaked at number 26 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached number two on the R&B charts. “Time” is the ninth track from her 1969 album, There’ll Come A Time. Floyd Smith (1917 – 1982) and Eugene Record (1940 – 2004) wrote “There’ll Come A Time.” Hillery Johnson, Leo Austell, and Archie Russell produced it. “There’ll come a time when the heart won’t take no more / She’ll have to cry, cry, cry, cry, baby,” she continues singing in the first verse.

Matters of the heart drive the narrative of “There’ll Come A Time.” The lament continues in the second verse with Everett asking, “Why you want to go away and leave me,” and pleading, “But oh baby, if you’d please / …Please come back to me.” The chorus is the centerpiece, filled with tears:

“You see the rich has to cry

The poor has to cry

You’ll have to cry

And I gotta cry sometimes.”

Everett delivers dynamic lead vocals over a stunning musical backdrop. The ear-catching excellence commences with a dramatic, tone-setting intro.  The intro showcases an elite orchestration featuring lush strings, articulated horns, a tight rhythm section, and vibe-laden vibraphone. Specifically, the horn and drum riffs are epic. Besides the underrated Everett’s top-rate vocals, she gets awesome support from background vocals, upping the ante. Ultimately, “There’ll Come A Time” is another memorable moment from her fabulous music catalog.

10. Gil Scott-Heron, “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised”

Pieces of a Man » Ace » 1971 

Gil Scott-Heron, Pieces of a Man [📷: Ace]“You will not be able to stay home, brother / You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out,” Gil Scott-Heron (1949 – 2011) recites, continuing, “You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip out for beer during commercials, because / The revolution will not be televised.” “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised” is a key highlight from the Scott-Heron musical catalog.  The opener from his 1971 album, Pieces of a Man, is a revolutionary protest song – a call to action.  If you want change, you’ve got to fight for change – you can’t merely be a spectator and expect it to materialize.  Scott-Heron penned the record while Bob Thiele produced.  Notably, Gil is accompanied by a sickening group of musicians, including Ron Carter (bass) and  Hubert Laws (flute and saxophone).

Throughout “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised,” Scott-Heron doesn’t hold back – he’s poetically honest.  “The revolution will not be brought to you by Xerox in four parts without commercial interruptions.” Noted.  Also, “The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal,” or “make you look five pounds thinner.” Beyond teeth and weight, Gil speaks on NBC presidential election projections, popular 1960s television shows, “Women Liberationists”, and popular white male musicians: “The theme song will not be written by Jim Webb or Francis Scott Key / Nor sung by Glen Campbell, Tom Jones, Johnny Cash, Englebert Humperdinck, or Rare Earth.” Getting more socially driven, particularly regarding blacks, Scott-Heron states, “There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down brothers on instant replay.”  He also references several civil rights leaders, some of whom he disagrees with on their opinions on civil rights and fighting racism (Whitney Young and Roy Wilkins).  Ultimately, in this spoken word classic, Gil Scott-Heron promotes active engagement, not sitting or being passive.  After all, “The revolution will be no re-run, brothers/ The revolution will be live.” “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised” is no anachronism, as many of Gil’s points are more relevant than ever.

11. Russ Taff, “We Will Stand”

Walls on Glass » Word Entertainment » 1983

Russ Taff, Walls of Glass [📷: Word Entertainment]“Sometimes it’s hard for me to understand / Why we pull away from each other so easily.” You have a legitimate point, Russ Taff.  Arguably, since “We Will Stand” arrived back in 1983 (Walls on Glass), things have only grown more divided; more polarized.  Here, on this moving contemporary Christian record, Taff emphasizes the importance of breaking down walls rather than building them up – unification rather than division. “If you believe in Jesus, you belong with me,” Taff sings in inspiring fashion, adding, “The bond we share is all I care to see / And we can change this world forever / If you will join and sing.”

 

What is the message that Taff asks believers to join and sing? Well, it’s one of the most moving, uplifting choruses you’ll ever hear. Joined by a choir, Taff sings:

“You’re my brother, you’re my sister

So, take me by the hand

Together we will work until He comes

There’s no foe that can defeat us

We’re walking side by side

As long as there is love we will stand.”

The song may be pushing 40 years old, but the lyrics and messaging still carry weight.  We should all work together and with Jesus behind us, we can’t fail! Inspired to the nth degree!

12. Billy Preston, “Will It Go Round in Circles”

Music is My Life » UMG Recordings, Inc. » 1972

Billy Preston, Music is My Life [📷: UMG Recordings, Inc.]“I’ve got a song / I ain’t got melody,” the late, great Billy Preston sings exuberantly in the first verse of “Will It Go Round in Circles”. He continues singing, “I’ma gonna sing it to my friends.” Sounds good, Billy! “Will It Go Round in Circles,” which appears on Preston’s 1973 album, Music is My Life, gave the legendary, Grammy-winning musician his first number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100.

 

Beyond the intriguing opening verse, Billy Preston serves up two more sweet verses. Lyrically, “Will It Go Round in Circles” is incredibly simple. In the second, he asserts, “I’ve got a story / Ain’t got no moral / Let the bad guy win every once in a while.” In the third, “I’ve got a dance / I ain’t got no steps, no / I’m gonna let the music move me around.” Of course, the centerpiece of “Will It Go Round in Circles” is the chorus, which is incredibly catchy:

“Will it go round in circles

Will it fly high like a bird up in the sky.”

Beyond the fun lyrics, the music is funky as with keys (including organ), horns, a prominent bass line, and a lite groove.  Billy Preston was an incredible musician, something that shines from the start of “Will It Go Round in Circles.” What else is there to say? “Will It Go Round in Circles” is a surefire vibe – it speaks for itself without extensive analysis.  Billy Preston was a fantastic musician, and his legacy is enduring, with “Will It Go Round in Circles” leading the charge.

13. Stevie Wonder, “I Believe (When I Fall In Love It Will Be Forever)”

Talking Book » Motown » 1972 

Stevie Wonder, Talking Book [📷: Motown]“I believe when I fall in love with you / It will be forever,” musical icon Stevie Wonder sings authentically and enthusiastically in the chorus of “I Believe (When I Fall In Love It Will Be Forever)”.  He continues, “I believe when I fall in love this time / It will be forever.” One of many highlights from Wonder’s Grammy-winning masterpiece, Talking Book, chivalry and dedication are admirable.  Wonder penned “I Believe (When I Fall in Love It Will Be Forever)” alongside Yvonne Wright. He self-produced this beloved non-single. The chorus is the section to beat, but the verses and pre-choruses are also strong.  The first verse is incredibly pessimistic – it sounds defeated.  However, the first pre-chorus sees a promising future: “The many sounds that meet our ears / The sights our eyes behold / Will open up our merging hearts / And feed our empty souls.” Woo! The second verse and second pre-chorus confirm the formidable love referenced in the chorus.  Wonder sounds stunning vocally. It’s easy to buy what he’s selling. Musically, everything is sound, with a marvelous musical backdrop helping to fuel his fire. “I Believe (When I Fall In Love It Will Be Forever)” highlights Wonder’s character, musicianship, and talent.

14. The Shirelles, “Will You Love Me Tomorrow”

Tonight’s the Night » Gusto » 1961 

The Shirelles, Tonight's The Night [📷: Gusto]“So, tell me now, and I won’t ask again / Will you still love me tomorrow?” Historic. New Jersey quartet The Shirelles, comprised of Doris Coley (Doris Kenner-Jackson), Beverly Lee, Shirley Owens (Shirley Alston), and Addie Harris, made history as the first black, all-girl group to reach no. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.  “Will You Love Me Tomorrow” (sometimes seen as “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow”) ended up spending two weeks in the penthouse.  It was composed by then iconic husband-wife songwriting duo Carole King and Gerry Goffin. “Will You Love Me Tomorrow” is an early pop/soul classic that pushed the envelope as the song explores whether a relationship will develop out of a romantic encounter.  In other words, will he commit to her beyond a one-night stand?  

“Tonight, the light of love is in your eyes / But will you love me tomorrow?” Lead singer Shirley Owens asks. In the second verse, there are similar concerns and questions regarding the permanence of this encounter. “Is this a lasting treasure / Or just a moment’s pleasure?” she sings, continuing, “Can I believe the magic of your sighs? / Will you still love me tomorrow?”  The sexual innuendo continues to be ripe throughout, including the bridge where “Tonight with words unspoken / You say that I’m the only one / But will my heart be broken / When the night (when the night) / Meets the morning (Meets the morning) sun?” Owens, the group’s lead singer, didn’t like the song initially, but not because of the ‘controversial’ theme (a one-night stand) for the time. She described it as sounding “too country and western.” She got onboard thanks to producer Luther Dixon, an added string arrangement by the songwriters, and a tempo increase.  The string arrangement, specifically, is distinct – ear-catching, and quite impressive. “Will You Love Me Tomorrow” is an inescapable, often-covered pop/soul classic that speaks for itself.

15. Sly & The Family Stone, “Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)”

Fresh » Sony » 1973 

Sly & The Family Stone, Fresh [📷: Sony]Ah, there’s nothing like a psychedelic soul rendition of a beloved 1950s classic. Jay Livingston and Ray Evans wrote an iconic song in “Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)”Doris Day (1922 – 2019) would record the definitive version of the song.  That said, “Que Sera, Sera” is an oft-covered joint, so there’s plenty of room for one of the best funk/soul bands of all time to drop their rendition. Sly & The Family Stone transforms the ‘50s version of the tune into something funk/soul lovers can hang with on their 1973 album, Fresh. Sly & The Family Stone slacken the tempo and SOULify this classic, period.  In the band’s hands, this is a nearly five-and-a-half-minute ballad.  They milk it, and the results are nothing short of glorious. We get some awesome keyboard (including organ), making it idiomatic of the ‘70s. Larry Graham (1946 – ) does what he does best – hold down that bass with his innovative style! The main attraction is the vocals by Rose Stone (1945 – ) and Sly Stone (1943 – 2025).  Rose’s tone is perfectly suited for the three tender verses, while the record intensifies in the chorus: “Que Sera, Sera / Whatever will be, will be / The future’s not ours to see / Que Sera, Que Sera, Que Sera.” Here, Sly sounds incredibly gritty. Sly & The Family Stone have bigger, more important hits in their catalog, but “Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)” is special too!
