The solo Jack White doesn't seem entirely sure what to do with himself, and sometimes – as on this loopy little soul sketch – that's what makes him eternally interesting. "I want love to grab my fingers gently, slam them in a doorway, put my face into the ground," the recent divorcé sings, hammering on his acoustic as organ spritz and puppy-eyed Casio bassoon evoke "Son of a Preacher Man." Nashville singer (and onetime Sing-Off contestant) Ruby Amanfu’s harried backing warble fits a song that adds an awkwardly personal wrinkle to the White Stripes' errant primitivism.

    “Oh Sherrie”

    Steve Perry | 1984

    Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
