Every edition of HotSupper, preserved for the record.

A seventeen-year-old Shuggie Otis wrote a psychedelic love letter in his basement; six years later the Brothers Johnson made it a smash, but the original is still the better record.

Eleven weeks in, HotSupper has covered gospel from 1847, the Blues from 1947 and neo-soul from 1995 and never repeated the mood or the story. Here is the whole run, in order.

Betty Davis told love to get lost in the loudest voice funk had ever heard, rounded up a Bay Area supergroup to back her, and made a debut album that kept finding listeners for fifty years.

A four-week R&B number one that never crossed to the pop chart, a love letter to Jamaica, Queens, and the bassline a fifteen-year-old played so well the future keeps borrowing it.

A train that has been running since the Underground Railroad. Curtis Mayfield wrote a gospel song for the civil rights movement, and the world has been boarding ever since.

A flower was born to spread love and joy. Minnie Riperton's 1970 baroque-soul masterwork 'Les Fleurs' sat buried for decades until Jordan Peele and Paul Thomas Anderson pulled it back into the light.

A Broadway show tune from The Sound of Music became the vehicle for John Coltrane's most radical statement: 14 minutes of modal jazz that made him a star and changed American music forever.

A spiritual born in slavery, carried through the Civil Rights Movement, and sung across genres by Paul Robeson, Mahalia Jackson, and Richie Havens. The Blind Boys of Alabama stripped it bare and revealed what was always there.

The idea came to Nile Rodgers in a bathroom stall, surrounded by men dressed as Diana Ross. An anthem was born.

A deep cut from Brown Sugar, buried on the album's second half. A song about someone helping you find a part of yourself you thought was gone.

The proposition is absurd: to paint tomorrow with no colors from today. Bill Withers asked anyway, with Jose Feliciano on piano and Dorothy Ashby on harp.

The clavinet riff is a typewriter slammed on a desk. The message is three words long: you have produced nothing.

The B-side that defined electric blues guitar. T-Bone Walker bent a note in 1947 and every guitarist since has been catching up.
