xp Teddy. Harold never sings as far as I know. Dope top 50 so far. Voted for Marvin, Aretha and the mighty Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now

Sort of worried for Ashford and Simpson at this point tho.

My 1 per artist rule (with a few exceptions) was tough on Stevie. This turned out to be the track I couldn't leave out.

"Living For The City" was my #2. I also voted for "Higher Ground" and another one which hasn't yet placed (but I bet it will).

I voted for 4 Al Green tracks - the most of any act, which was a bit of a surprise, but there you go. "Love And Happiness" just sneaked in at #100.

Me and Mrs Jones is such a great song.

xxp Higher Ground placed at #63 or so

If Living For The CIty can't make the top 40, it would appear that there aren't that many Stevie songs left.

I'm hoping BB King's Ain't Nobody Home shows up. I had never heard that song until ArchCarrier nominated it. Many many thanks for that.

Do I have to explore more BB King now? The U2 song When Love Comes To Town kinda soured me, I guess. But Ain't Nobody Home is just about perfect.

Aw, "Love and Happiness" was the Al Green I was hoping would finish top 10.

I can live with #40.

We're in my favorite stretch of the rollout now, starting at 41. "Tears" was my number 5.

Aww, Smokey seems finished. Unless Quiet Storm shows up. Hard to see how it could top Tears of a Clown, though. That is one of the alltime great songs.

xp - I voted for "Children of the Night" as my Stylistics epic; very glad "People" made it even without my help.

I had "Wake Up Everybody" really high up on my ballot, but didn't know how popular it was and was not expecting it to place at this point.

One of my discoveries from the nomination process; the intro sounds far ahead of its time.

I don't quite get Shuggie Otis. Nice song and all, but for it to finish ahead of the likes of Tears of a Clown and dozens of others just feels wrong.

Yeah, especially when compared to the Brothers Johnson version. I prefer that one.

https://youtu.be/S1Mvy3E8P2U

I too prefer the Brothers Johnson version. Greatly.

I strongly prefer Shuggie's original over the Brothers Johnson cover - it's a long-time favourite, and was my #10.

Ain't Nobody Home is a Howard Tate song right? Never understood I Want You Back tbh.

lol @ both versions of Strawberry Letter 23 placing wtf

I didn't vote for it; I was wrong not to vote for it; its greatness is taken for granted.

My #1. How did EVERYONE not vote for this?!

Did anything run the table on ballots?

Can't stand the rain and Didn't I Blow Your Mind have the lead in number of ballots placed with 8. Which is nuts
