One of my all-time favorites  is the album Graceland by Paul Simon.  It’s hard to pick just one favorite song on that album, but for me it would be “Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes”.  Paul Simon’s songs are rather ubiquitous, but in case you haven’t listened lately I think it’s time for a refresher.  Available at music stores everywhere and itunes.com
