Ein großer Teil des KEY OF LIFE-Programms besteht aus Soulklassikern der 50er bis 70er-Jahre, die durch ausgiebiges Sampling und Remakes aktueller Künstler auch jüngerem Publikum bekannt sind. Die Gitarre übernimmt ausser der üblichen Akkordbegleitung auch Bass-, Keyboard- und Bläserparts der ursprünglichen Arrangements.
Ständig kommen neue Songs hinzu. Hier einige Beispiele mit früheren Interpreten:
