Soul artists/bands that had a classic streak of album runs?

The last pop hit was LOVE OVERBOARD on MCA in 1987. Their final hit before breaking up was LOVIN' ON NEXT TO NOTHIN' which was top 10 soul hit but didn't cross over.

I Feel A Song and The Way We Were/Try To Remember weren't hits on the pop charts though, one peaked at #21 and the other one #11. After 1974's On and On, that was it for them in the pop charts at least.

Now in the rhythm and blues charts, yeah, you're right. They were having a boat loads of hits in that department, until the early 80s if I'm not mistaken.

Thank you for the polite answer, Michael.
You're right that in the 90s they weren't together anymore.
I counted all the charted records by Gladys Knight & the Pips up to 1988, and by Gladys Knight after that.

I'm a particular fan of the full lps of GK&tP, Heikki - always great to hear this wonderful group's lp catalogue referenced. I'm reminded to play the expanded edition of Life! Best to you -
