I never got "Grandma's Hands," or how it could possibly beat out my #1 "Ain't No Sunshine."

Kind of hate Riperton but I can't deny this one.

Day Dreaming is lovely--I could've voted for any track off that album

Loved The Night when I first discovered it but it sort of wore off for me. Most Northern Soul does actually.

Nice work ArchCarrier and thanks for using my poll name suggestion. You Are Everything was in my top 10. I feel like the overriding story of 70s soul was the work of producers and arrangers like Charles Stepney, Arif Mardin, Maurice White, Gamble/Huff and my favourite, Thom Bell, who of course is responsible for YAE.

I'm pretty sure I left "Rainy Night in Georgia" and "Everybody is a Star" off my ballot after checking some dates and determining that they both existed a little too comfortably within 1969 for me to include, but I'm happy to see them place nonetheless.
Big YAYs for a bunch of things here: "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)," "Don't Leave Me This Way," "You Are Everything," "Just My Imagination," "Summer Madness," "Miss You" (sorry Eric), "Use Me" and esp "Grandma's Hands," which was one of two Withers tracks in my Top 10.

No, but in the mix for #17.

Tell Me Something Good has been in so many ads that it barely even feels like a real song anymore, but it's got an awesome wah-wah guitar sound and a fairly classic progression into that famous chorus.
― human music...I like it! (voodoo chili), Thursday, 13 April 2017 18:24 (seven years ago) link
"Rock With You" is one of those songs that is so familiar by now that it becomes easy to underestimate it. Just looking at my ballot again (#62), I'm stunned at how I could have placed such a lovely, classic song so low.

I don't get She's Gone and (Don't Worry). Especially ahead of legit number one contenders like Girl You Need a Change of Mind, Give Me Just a Little More Time and Rock With You. Voted for the Stylistics and Spinners as well of course.
