Patti Jo is the first track not on Spotify. Know it very well, though.

I realize now that "fierce" is an understatement for Minnie's vocal on "Reasons." Her melismas are often hit-or-miss for me, but her final, impossibly high notes on that song, when they blends with the guitar...man

"Reasons" is pretty gorgeous. "Jungle Boogie" is the most famous iteration of a formula I've liked far better elsewhere in KatG's catalog.

No "TOO LOW!" on Proud Mary?
At this point, everything is too low.
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Wednesday, 12 April 2017 16:36 (seven years ago) link
Everything will be too low until we reach #1. Which if it's "I Want You Back" I will say "TOO HIGH!"

Figured nobody would vote for Proud Mary. It's as played as Stayin Alive and not as unique.

Yay for Sweet Thing. That was one of my noms, though I obvs didn't bother voting for it because I am a horrible person.

Also, the relatively low placement of "Jungle Boogie" is the biggest surprise of the rollout for me, so far. Had it in the top quarter of my ballot.

"I Need Somebody To Love Tonight" placing = A+

I can never get over how goofily earnest KC is in period clips. Surprised at him placing above some of these others, he does have some stuff I like though

Excellent work. It's one of my favourite album openers ever.
― kitchen person, Wednesday, 12 April 2017 19:19 (seven years ago) link
Great to see Machine Gun make it. I had another Commodores song really high on my list but I'm almost certain nobody else will have voted for it.
Love I Need Somebody to Love Tonight by Sylvester. That and Don't Stop are his two best songs for me.
I was just listening to Sweet Thing. They're such an underrated group. I voted for that and Tell Me Something Good.
You Ought to Be With Me is my favourite Al Green song.
Lots of other songs I'm happy to see here too.. and James Brown.

I was the #1 voter for "You Make Me Feel Brand New". Airrion Love sets it up, Thompkins, Jr. knocks it out the park.
Jogging back even further, how have I never heard MJ's "I Wanna Be Where You Are" before? Were those late 1971 recordings his secret peak? There's this, "Got To Be There" and his masterly version of "Ain't No Sunshine" just for starters.
