In Ep4 of this Pop Heads series - First Recordings - Not the Hit Versions - we hear from the song-writers with their recordings of their own songs. 

How will this play out? Well, before hits from The Searchers in '64, The Sports in '78, Paul Carrack in '87 and Status Quo in '95, composer Jackie DeShannon recorded When You Walk In the Room back in 1963.

Jane Arakawa and Roddy Lee are in the Vault of Vinyl to play so many more FIRST RECORDINGS by the songwriters themselves of songs that later became hits. See if you can guess the composers who will be singing Knock On Wood; Everybody's Talking; Rudy, A Message to You; Mr Bojangles; Without You; Love Song; Me & Bobby McGee; Killing Me Softly; Blame it on the Boogie and Like a Virgin.
