Gladys Knight did the original, but EC played Marvin Gaye's version on the radio in 1983 and included it in his Vanity Fair list in 2000. The Temptations recorded it too.

Last night Elvis sang quite a portion of a song in the middle of Detectives which including sine lines - shocking blue paint and their secrets to keep and maybe the word loaded repeated a few times. Can’t find anything close on the net, any ideas anyone ? "Invisible Lady," the Elvis(/Ming...

Elvis has always credited Cait as the primary writer of "Baby Plays Around." In 1989: Cait wrote this one. I went to the store to buy a paper and when I came back she had sung it all into a tape recorder. Also in 1989: "Cait wrote it while I went out to buy a paper," Costello say...

This is probably "The End of Our Road," which was indeed recorded first by Gladys Knight — but it was Marvin Gaye's version that EC played in a 1983 guest DJ spot and included in the Costello's 500 list in 2000.

Interview with Cait includes:

You co-wrote about a handful of songs with Elvis Costello when you were with him, on albums like King of America, Blood & Chocolate, Spike and Mighty Like a Rose. Are any of those songs close to you or songs you’d like to perform?

No.

Said Costello: “The nature of that remix is going to be so surprising when you hear it, because it involves taking my voice off the record and replacing it entirely with Spanish language singers from across 12 Latin countries and Spain. … Because music doesn’t stand still.

An album of Spanish reworkings of all the songs from This Year's Model (for example) would fit that description.

I'll post the full setlist in the near future. This is one song short of the full setlist, because I have not yet identified the opening instrumental. Steve solo: 01. unidentified (instrumental) 02.

Great show! Besides Ajuq and Benmont Tench, there were guest appearances by Pete Thomas, Davey Faragher, Jenni Muldaur, and Joe Sumner. Several lesser played songs ("Passionate Fight," "April 5th," "He's Given Me Things"). I'll post the full setlist in the near future.

sweetest punch wrote:The Roots??

That's not a bad guess. Jimmy Fallon joked about EC and the Roots remaking Get Happy!! when they played "Black and White World" on his show not long after playing "High Fidelity."

It seems like other artists covering a classic Costello album would qualify too.

Something from the Imperial Bedroom & Other Chambers tour does seem like the most obvious guess, but it seems kind of late to release something from a tour than ended in July 2017.

The 40th anniversary of the release of Get Happy!! is coming up in February.

A newly registered mystery song: "Albuquerque" written by EC and Bill Frisell, and performed by Frisell.
