"Most Precious Love" is a 2004 house song produced, written and recorded by the American duo Blaze, featuring the musical collective ensemble U.D.A.U.F.L. (the acronym for Underground Dance Artists United For Life), with vocals performed by singer Barbara Tucker. The single's history is unique in itself, having been released twice and with new mixes, as well as a 16-week climb to number one on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart, [1] reaching the top spot on June 4, 2005, giving Tucker her sixth chart topper. [2] In the United Kingdom, the single charted twice, peaking at 44 in 2005, then again with a new mix by the Freemasons (sans the U.D.A.U.F.L. credits, and rebilled as "Barbara Tucker featuring Blaze"), peaking much better at number 17 in 2006.

You Dont Know (Cyndi Lauper song)

"You Don't Know" is the first single from the 1997 album Sisters of Avalon by American singer Cyndi Lauper.

Lauper refers to the arrogance of the media in this song, as well as in other songs on the Sisters of Avalon album. It contains the word "bullshit" and was not edited out of the UK singles as is typical. While performing on several UK shows, such as Noel's House Party, she skipped the word. Remixes of the song were made by several producers such as Tony Moran and Junior Vasquez. That led the song to become a big dance hit in the United States and a mainstream hit in the UK.
