The answer to today's is

1 Boston Rag
2 Memphis Soul Stew
3 Toledo &
4 Paris, Texas

Firstly, with the sad news of the maestro's passing I had to do a quiz using one of my favourite Bacharach songs. I love how Costello pairs the city in Ohio with that after which it's named, the Spanish citadel.

So the theme is songs with US Cities that are namesakes:

Boston, England
Memphis, Egypt
Toledo, Spain
Paris, France

Remembering King Curtis (February 7, 1934 – August 13, 1971) one of R&B's greatest saxophonists who was tragically murdered at age 37.

The year before his death, he co-wrote the stellar instrumental jam Teasin' (1970) youtube.com/watch?v=e4cTSzN3BA with Delaney Bramlett who also produced it.

Teasin' featured Eric Clapton on lead guitar and other uncredited session musicians. Recorded at Sunset Sound Studios in Los Angeles, it was included on Curtis' 1970 Get Ready LP.

One of the best β€œintroducing the band” performances I’ve ever heard. Perhaps because the band (which backed Aretha) includes Billy Preston, Bernard Purdie, Cornell Dupree, Memphis Horns. Also features version of Whiter Shade of Pale featured in Withnail & I.
