Thought I'd try my hand at this. If you're interested or want to be tagged, let me know. Here are the 14 songs that topped the soul chart in 1980: Rock With You - Michael Jackson The Second Time Around - Shalamar Special Lady - Ray, Goodman & Brown And The Beat Goes On - The Whispers Stomp! - The Brothers Johnson Don't Say Goodnight (It's Time For Love) - The Isley Brothers Let's Get Serious - Jermaine Jackson Take Your Time (Do It Right) - The S.O.S. Band One In a Million You - Larry Graham Upside Down - Diana Ross Give Me The Night - George Benson Funkin' For Jamaica (N.Y.) - Tom Browne Master Blaster (Jammin') - Stevie Wonder Celebration - Kool & The Gang Final ranking will use an inverse point system: #1 gets 14 points, #2 gets 13, etc. Deadline to submit your rankings is March 31. Good luck!  |

And in the meantime, here's an extra from 1980, the first charting song by a female rap group. One of its members is a young Angie Stone. The song climbed to #15 on the soul chart.

I know most of these songs, so I can do this very quickly. I'm about ready to go to sleep, though, so expect it sometime tomorrow afternoon or evening. Speaking of 1980 soul, I heard this song a few weeks ago while listening to the February 16, 1980 edition of American Top 40 with Casey Kasem: Smoove.  |

I don't dislike any of these songs, and I enjoy my top 10 very much. Unfortunately, some songs had to get pushed down.
