“Crazy in Love”

Beyonce feat. Jay-Z | 2003

"Crazy in Love" begins much like the inauguration of Beyonce's solo career, with horns glaring and a combo of modern funk, soul, pop and -- thanks to her hubby -- hip-hop. "It's the horn hook," Beyoncé noted. "It has this go-go feel to it, this old-school feel. I wasn't sure if people were going to get it." People got it. Released in May 2003, the song would serve as the summer's anthem. And, Jayonce fans would mark the beginning of the diva's willingness to admit that she was head over heels for the hip-hop star.

“More Than a Feeling”

Boston | 1976

Boston mastermind Tom Scholz was as surprised by anyone when he sent his unsolicited demo to record labels and got back a positive response. Scholz said, “I couldn’t believe it. Nobody knew who we were, so I wouldn’t even say we were struggling. It was groveling.” Part of the credit for the interest must go to the anthemic rock number "More Than a Feeling." Inspired by the Left Banke's 1966 hit "Walk Away Renee," Scholz worked on the song for five years in his basement studio before it was released on this album.
