To celebrate this underappreciated genius, Mike Dutkewych and I (Dave Lawson) played a night of all Randy Newman songs (the only exception being two early Goffin\/King numbers, as Randy has referenced in several interviews how she was a big influence on him during his early period). In addition to many songs sung by Randy himself, the mix features a lot of lesser known songs Randy wrote for others in his early days, covers of Randy&#8217;s tunes performed by some of the greatest singers of the day, plus tunes that Randy arranged for others like Leiber and Stoller and Fats Domino. Mike and I wondered if this was perhaps the only\u00a0time in history that there has been a live DJ night at a bar featuring all Randy Newman all night. If it was, it probably won&#8217;t be the last &#8211; wait til next year!<\/p>\n<p>[display_podcast]<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"display:none;\" id=\"te375739022\" href=\"javascript:expand('#te375739022')\">Click for full playlist<\/a>\n<div class=\"te_div\" id=\"te375739022\"><script language=\"JavaScript\" type=\"text\/javascript\">expander_hide('#te375739022');<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Randy Newman\u2019s Birthday Party \u2013 December 2nd, 2014<br \/>\nDave Lawson (D) and Mike Dutkewych (M)<\/p>\n<p>Randy Newman &#8211; The Majors \u2013 The Mind Is a Strange Thing (from \u201cThe Natural\u201d) (D)<br \/>\nHarper\u2019s Bizarre \u2013 The Debutate\u2019s Ball (D)<br \/>\nRandy Newman \u2013 Burn On (D)<br \/>\nRandy Newman \u2013 New Orleans Wins the War (D)<br \/>\nNilsson \u2013 Yellow Man (D)<br \/>\nRandy Newman \u2013 Naked Man (D)<br \/>\nRandy Newman \u2013 Tickle Me (D)<br \/>\nRandy Newman \u2013 Bet No One Ever Hurt This Bad (D)<br \/>\nThe Fleetwoods \u2013 They Tell Me Its Summer (D)<br \/>\nSkeeter Davis \u2013 Don\u2019t Let Me Stand in Your Way (D) [Goffin\/King]<br \/>\nGene Pitney \u2013 Every Little Breath I Take (D) [Goffin\/King]<br \/>\nGene Pitney \u2013 Nobody Needs Your Love (D)<br \/>\nIrma Thomas \u2013 Anyone Who Has a Heart (D)<br \/>\nNilsson \u2013 Living without You (M)<br \/>\nJohnny Shepard \u2013 20 Acres of Land (D)<br \/>\nNilsson \u2013 Sail Away (M)<br \/>\nPeggy Lee \u2013 Love Story (D)<br \/>\nNilsson \u2013 Vine Street (M)<br \/>\nHarpers Bizarre \u2013 The Greatest Night of Her Life (D)<br \/>\nRandy Newman \u2013 Political Science (M)<br \/>\nRandy Newman \u2013 The Girls in My Life (part 1) (D)<br \/>\nRandy Newman \u2013 Old Kentucky Home (M)<br \/>\nEverly Brothers \u2013 Illinois (D)<br \/>\nNilsson \u2013 Beehive State (M)<br \/>\nEric Budon and the Animals \u2013 I Think It\u2019s Gonna Rain Today (D)<br \/>\nRandy Newman \u2013 Christmas in Capetown (M)<br \/>\nRingo Starr \u2013 Have You Seen My Baby (D)<br \/>\nRandy Newman \u2013 Have You Seen My Baby (M)<br \/>\nNina Simone \u2013 Baltimore (D)<br \/>\nRandy Newman \u2013 It\u2019s Money That I Love (M)<br \/>\nRandy Newman \u2013 I Love L.A.
