Don’t fear Friday the 13th! We’ll hear songs inspired by the day, including two trios of homonym songs (same title, different tunes) and Stevie Wonder playing “Superstition” live — on Sesame Street!

Then, we’re celebrating George Harrison’s music, in advance of next weekend’s big tribute concert, with a set of his songs performed by great African-American artists, some demos from the All Things Must Pass box set, and more.

Featured artists Include Johnny Cash, Prince, James Brown, Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, Big Star, Billy Preston, The O’Jays, Alison Krauss & Union Station, and… Bill Haley! And… Laura Brannigan?! And others.
