What A Little Moonligh Can Do
I Wished On The Moon
These 'N' That 'N' Those
It's Like Reaching For The Moon
I Cried For You
Miss Brown To You
Life Begins When You're In Love
I Must Have That Man
Why Was I Born?
With Thee I Swing
I'll Get By
Easy Living
I'll Never Be The Same
Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man
My Man
It's Easy To Blame The Weather
Things Are Looking Up
Nice Work If You Can Get It
