In addition to The Elgins more familiar songs of Darling Baby, Heaven Must Have Sent You, Stay In My Lonely Arms and Put Yourself In My Place, I think album cuts such as I Understand My Man, It's Gonna Be Hard Times, and No Time For Tears, as well as unreleased gems like That's The Night That Loved Died, and Love Where Are You Hiding were tailor made for Florence.
