A #1 in 1980 "Stomp" by The Brother Johnson.

How did this song only make #11 R&B.....that is just Silly. This one is such a classic by Niecy.

Thanks Luciano! It makes me feel younger again! LOL!
Come back-the stairsteps..love is-the chi-lites.
The best part-the emotions
One of the greatest hits from Muscle Shoals:

One of my favorite songs of the '70s is "Everybody Plays the Fool".

And there's nothing more soulful than "If Loving You Is Wrong, I Don't Want To Be Right" by Luther Ingram.

The Blackbyrds [[I'm on a '70s kick today, LOL):

This may have been previously posted, but aside from Johnny Wilder, Jr.'s "Always and Forever", I don't know of any performance from the '70s that was a perfect or smooth as Philip Bailey's in "Reasons". Truly beautiful songs.

I remember the time in my life when this song was a hit. Not the biggest Atlantic Starr song, but one of my favorites:

And right about the same time, they did this gem. I'm in the minority, but I liked this iteration of the band more than the one that produced "Secret Lovers" and "Always". They were more of a soul band than a funk/pop outfit at first.

Have we had "Pull Up To The Bumper" in this thread, yet? Sly & Robbie went from Reggae to one of the hottest rhythm tracks ever. This bass line, y'all... Hot!

And Tom Tom Club with one of the best Summer jams from my young adult years. They branched off from Talking Heads; I wonder how David Byrne would have impacted this record? I can imagine him on the lead and it would sound just as good, IMO.

You guys are killing it!! Great postings!
One of my favorite years [[I graduated in 1980). I was so conflicted by this album. On one hand, George Benson is so underrated as a jazz artist, I wished that he would only perform jazz, so the album was a disappointment even with the great songs Dinorah, Dinorah, Moody's Mood, and Off Broadway. On the other hand, it was produced by Q at the height of his game and had a huge contribution from my favorite writer, Rod Temperton. There was too much of what I loved to hate it like I wanted to. There is not a bad song on the album.
I don't know about you, but some songs are musical snapshots for me, bringing back memories of friends I had and things I did. That's what this song does when I hear it.
Jerry,i hear ya brother..i love george benson too and like you i still wish he would just play only because he tends sing more than play,but of course he is a very good vocalist and a jazz legend.
Very nice pick JAI:

When this number dropped in the Winter of 1974-75 we loved it. I always felt it was the shortest, funkiest song hands down!

Champaign had two incredibly underrated ballads. Both were hits but neither seems to get played or mentioned anywhere. The first was "How 'Bout Us" and the next was "Try Again":
