Angelo Badalamenti - Falling (Twin Peaks theme instrumental version)
After the sad death of David Lynch I've been listening to this. Fitted the tv show perfectly.

Written in jail by a 19 year old Lefty Frizzell to his wife Alice, I Love You a Thousand Ways is widely regarded as the very first modern country song, but not the 1950 version, the 1959 re-release.
It’s hard to say what the very last true twanger standard was, but Lefty’s 1973 I Never Go Around Mirrors is often mentioned as it.
Personally, I give the nod for last true twanger blockbuster hit to Vern Gosdin That Just About Does It in 1989. It’s 100% Lefty imitation though.

i don't know how old this is (is it a cover?), but here it is at KEXP last November. Love it!

A particularly nice version of Gershwin's "Summertime": rendered by Booker T and the MGs:
I don't know who influenced whom, but this Booker T and the MGs song has a distinct Ramsey Lewis vibe to it:
Writing of Mr. Lewis, here's one of my favorite song of his:
Notice the Oscar Peterson-like "shimmer" that Mr. Lewis uses, it's sweet!
