- Ten Long Years
Classic blues here, and one of B.B.'s top tracks from the 50's. It's a sad track about his woman of 10 years leaving him after a happy relationship.

Mariah has always been expert at choosing remixers for her songs. David Morales frequently remixes her tunes and some of his work can be found here. The same can be said for Junior Vasquez.
