** Dave 'Baby' Cortez
1. The Happy Organ 2. You Give Me Heebie Jeebies Dave 'Baby' Cortez : David Cortez Clowney, known by the stage name Dave "Baby" Cortez (born August 13, 1938, Detroit, Michigan), is an American pop and R&B organist and pianist. Clowney attended Northwestern High School in Detroit. His father played the piano, and encouraged him to pursue a musical career. Clowney played the piano for 10 years, then he took up the organ. Clowney made his first record in 1956 under his own name but it was not until three years later that he scored a major success using the stage name Dave "Baby" Cortez. His instrumental, "The Happy Organ", was the first pop/rock hit to feature the electronic organ as lead instrument; it featured drummer Gary Hammond. The guitar solo is by session musician Wild Jimmy Spruill. The 45 rpm single was the first instrumental No. 1 on Billboard magazine's Hot 100 chart. Clowney became the first African-American artist to have an instrumental #1 hit. Before making his big break with an instrumental record, Clowney had sung with two doo-wop groups, the Pearls and the Valentines. The original 45 RPM single was released on the independent Clock Records label but the LP which featured the single was released by RCA Victor by arrangement with Clock. Cortez had another Top Ten hit in 1962 with "Rinky Dink" on Chess Records. This record became well known in the UK as the signature tune of the Saturday afternoon programme Professional Wrestling, introduced by Kent Walton, although few knew the name of the tune or the artist. The song has a strong resemblance to "Love Is Strange" by Mickey & Sylvia, which was recorded a few years earlier.

Harrison recorded "Kansas City" for the Harlem based entrepreneur Bobby Robinson. Harrison recorded for the Fire and Fury record labels, which were owned and operated by Robinson. After this success, Harrison continued to perform and record but it would be another ten years before he recorded "Let's Work Together" that went to # 32 on the Billboard Hot 100, and was later a hit for Canned Heat and Bryan Ferry. It was also recorded by country rock band The Kentucky Headhunters for the soundtrack to the movie, Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man.

In 2001, his recording of "Kansas City" was given a Grammy Hall of Fame Award, and has also been named as one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.

** James Nares
1. Voluntary And Fugue In A Minor James Nares : James Nares (19 April 1715 – 10 February 1783) was an English composer of mostly sacred vocal works, though he also composed for the harpsichord and organ. He began his career as Deputy Organist of St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, and was later appointed Organist of York Minster in 1735. Nares was a pupil of Gates, Johann Christoph Pepusch and William Croft. He replaced his tutor, Gates, as chorister at the Chapel Royal. He was assistant organist at St George's Chapel in Windsor, then succeeded Salisbury at York Minster, before returning to the Chapel Royal in 1756 to become organist and composer to George III. It is believed[by whom?] that Nares was the first person to systematically publish a series of keyboard lessons for students of the piano. Nares is buried in St. Margaret's, Westminster. His service in F and many of his anthems are still used in cathedrals. He was the father of Revd Robert Nares (1753–1829), the philologist and author.
