How did this come to be? (Eclectic Playlist Series, 2.05)

So here's one great song you may not have heard before: "If Silence Means That Much to You," by the Scottish singer/songwriter Emma Pollock, who has never gotten her due. Its sudden beginning made for a difficult segue but I didn't let that stop me. It's a good song and no one knows it and that always seems a shame to me. Another good song that you probably sort of know and sort of don't: "Am I the Same Girl," by Barbara Acklin. The instrumental track might sound very familiar, as it was taken out from under her and marketed as a single called "Soulful Strut," without her vocals, before her (original) version was released. Acklin also never got her due. The music industry is like that.
