    "Who's Lovin' You" by the Jackson Five.

    Understated, bluesy, jazzy, and cool.

    And then in comes Michael, who carries the theme forward in a glorious manner.

    I've always liked "You Can Do Magic". [[Got the single.) It's a really catchy and dance-able track.

    It picks up a lot of elements from the best 1960s dance-able pop a la "98.6" etc., throws in a...

    My UK Tamla Motown pressing from the early 1980s has that issue.

    I'd never looked that closely at the label.

    But very few that had more than one or two hits.

    TBH, I'm not a big fan of Nick Ashford's singing voice. To my ears, it's ok but not outstanding.

    I guess that it's different strokes.

    I don't have a massive Nina Simone collection, but Here Comes The Sun from 1971, and Baltimore from 1978 are good, well-balanced albums.
