“Get It While You Can,” written by Mort Shuman and Jerry Ragovoy. Mr. Ragovoy plays it on piano for vocalist Howard Tate in 2003. Amazing.

“Stay With Me Baby,” written by Jerry Ragovoy and George David Weiss, performed here by Ruby Turner (why isn’t this artist better known in the USA?). The song was originally written for Lorraine Ellison, but her soulful rendition from 1966 is overpowered by a 48-piece orchestra originally put together for a Sinatra session.

“Piece of My Heart,” written by Jerry Ragovoy and Bert Berns, originally recorded by Erma Franklin in 1967. Big Brother and the Holding Company had bigger hit with the song the following year, but Ms. Franklin (like her younger sister Aretha) sings with better phrasing and dynamics.

“Time Is on My Side,” written by Jerry Ragovoy with additional lyrics by Jimmy Norman. Performed by 22-year-old Irma Thomas. A bunch of scruffy young Brits recorded it, too.

“You Don’t Know Nothin’ About Love,” written by Jerry Ragovoy, arranged and conducted by Garry Sherman, performed by Carl Hall in this 1967 recording. Previous to his Soul Music and stage career, Mr. Hall sang with the Rasberry Singers, and Anthony Heilbut called him “the finest male soprano in Gospel.”
