Although much of his work was as a sideman, Wadud was one of the most important jazz musicians of the 1970s, '80s and '90s. Taylor Swift says she had never heard of the group 3LW or their 2001 song "Playas Gon' Play" before a lawsuit was filed against her accusing her of stealing lyrics. Dozier died at 81. As part of the songwriting team Holland-Dozier-Holland, he co-wrote dozens of hits, including "Baby Love," "Heat Wave" and "Reflections," helping to define the Motown sound. Olivia Newton-John was one of the biggest pop stars in the 1970s and early 1980s. In the movie musical Grease, she starred as good girl Sandy Olson, who falls for a bad boy played by John Travolta. Palestinian pop artist Bashar Murad is an openly gay singer who uses his music to address a number of societal issues.

On 'Scary,' two of rap's premier smack talkers find a demented glee in menacing those who might otherwise belittle them. Sumerlands leans into heavy metal traditions with a big heart on this high-impact power ballad. The Malian guitarist and singer meets the Texas trio in a loping, labyrinthine fusion of dub, blues and West African grooves. The grungy pop track confronts masculine power structures and the constrictive hierarchies they impose. From a deluxe edition of United By Fate, the unreleased version is heavy as ever, but flips the song's sour edge into something soulful. Megan Thee Stallion (feat. Rico Nasty), 'Scary'
Sumerlands, 'Edge of the Knife'
Vieux Farka Touré & Khruangbin, 'Savanne'
Tommy Lefroy, 'Dog Eat Dog'
Rival Schools, 'Holding Sand (Acoustic)'
