He put a qualifier on it for what he was looking for.

Singer Songwriters who should be household names....

some stay where they should never be, some never are where they should be; such is the roulette of time.

Ms. Mckducket, I don't think anything you've posted is "mediocre" as a matter of fact, I think most of it is brilliant...
Thanks Avishai!

My Funny Valentine sung by Chaka Kahn written by Rodgers & Hart
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fY-LlevOPCI
Rodgers & Hart made their professional debut with the song "Any Old Place With You," featured in the 1919 Broadway musical comedy A LONELY ROMEO. Their breakthrough came with the score for a 1925 charity show, THE GARRICK GAITIES, which introduced the classic valentine to their hometown, "Manhattan." From 1920 to 1930 Rodgers & Hart wrote an astonishing array of musical comedies for Broadway and London's West End. At their pinnacle the team was writing an average of four new shows a year, and among these were: DEAREST ENEMY, BETSY, PEGGY-ANN, THE GIRL FRIEND, CHEE-CHEE and A CONNECTICUT YANKEE.

Normon Connors - I'm Your Melody ( I love this! I blast this one!)

Oops! I better add the writer composer info!
Norman Connors (born March 1, 1947 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is an American jazz drummer.
Connors became interested in jazz as a child, and began playing drums early, once sitting in for Elvin Jones at a John Coltrane performance he attended while in middle school. Connors studied music at Temple University and Juilliard; his first recording was on Archie Shepp's 1967 release, Magic of JuJu. He played with Pharaoh Sanders for the next few years until signing with Cobblestone Records in 1972 and releasing his first record as a bandleader. In the mid-1970s, Connors began focusing more on R&B tunes, and had several US hits with songs featuring vocalists such as Michael Henderson, Jean Carn, and Phyllis Hyman. The most successful of these was "You Are My Starship". His more recent work has seen him operating more in the vein of smooth jazz and urban crossover music.
