Q7.) On songs not written by the DC5, who performed them first?

The DC5 wrote over 75% of their own material. They also did superb, even defining versions of songs written by others. Here's the list of over 40 songs, and the answers to many of them. (If you can fill in any of blanks as to who did these FIRST, let me know.)
