Today's extra is a song written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David and was originally released by Dionne Warwick in 1964. It's been covered numerous times, including by a soul superstar who recorded it for his debut album. It wasn't released as a single, but it's become a quiet storm staple and a concert showstopper.

14. Sukiyaki - A Taste Of HoneyOriginally released in Japan by Kyu Sakamoto in 1961 as "Ue o Muite Arukล", it was retitled "Sukiyaki" when it hit the US charts in 1963. It would go on to top the Hot 100. A Taste Of Honey's version was released on the condition that Janice-Marie Johnson not be credited for the English lyrics. The result: a soul charttopper and a Top 5 on the Hot 100.
