More songs with names

While undeniably most songs about people are simply written to a nameless ‘you’, ‘she’ or ‘he’, some songwriters seem to be inspired by particular individuals and want to name names. This week we return to a theme we haven’t visited in a while and bring together tracks from the Seventies featuring a person’s name in the title. Kiss apologises to Beth, Billy Paul yearns after Mrs Jones, ABBA encourages Helen, and Rick James expresses his love for Mary Jane, in just a few of our selection.
