Young Fresh Fellows - Amy Grant. It's about, well, Amy Grant.
Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush - Buddy. From their excellent debut album, Maxoom. Frank's thoughts and words about Jimi Hendrix.
Arthur Conley - Sweet Soul Music. Numerous giants from soul and R&B are mentioned by name. A real corker of a tune. One of my favs.
Going To California by Led Zep. This acoustic number is often described by Robert Plant to be a love song about Joni Mitchell.

About Kurt Cobain.

I AM SOOT!
Jewel actually wrote this one abstractly for Kurt Cobain. It was after his death and it was more about the angst that he represented for the youth that idolized him. The tone of the song says more than anything and IMO is the best song made with him in mind!

The Carefrees had a hit with this one in 1964:
"Monterey" by the Animals mentions Prince, i.e. Brian, Jones.
"Summer Rain" contains the lyric "and the jukebox kept on playing Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band".
