"Secret Love," a song that Stevie Nicks originally demoed in the late '70s, has been remade for her In Your Dreams, her first album in a decade. Whereas the original version of the tune — which has been bootlegged for years by fans — had a stark, simple arrangement, the new recording is considerably more slick, modern and rocking in its style.

“Everyday People”

Sly and the Family Stone | 1968

"Everyday People" managed to trailblaze in two different ways -- it was one of the first pop hits to deal with the subject of racial harmony, and it utilized Larry Graham's "slap" technique on the bass guitar, which would soon be copied by countless other bassists. Graham once said about his pulsating style, "I'd never done that before … that's where the freedom of creativity came in for the band, that we'd be allowed to do that." In 1978, the song's line "Different strokes for different folks" would be borrowed for the title of the hit television show Diff'rent Strokes.
