Is there anyone still working on their lists? If you give me until the end of the night 30 minutes, I can put together a quick ranking, since I already know almost all of these songs. |

I'll start the reveals tomorrow!
In the meantime, here's another extra. It's one of her 12 Top 10 hits on the soul chart, peaking at #9. Also climbed to #5 on the Hot 100.

That's one of her classics. Heard it on the radio all the time. Along with his Rock LPs I also inherited my dad's Disco collection.

I LOVE I’m Coming Out and On the Radio. I sang and danced to the former one in a loop a few years ago when I publicly came out on Facebook to all my friends and family in Peru :)
And OTR has always been a classic to me. My mom really liked Donna although she couldn’t catch the lyrics, so we’d once in a while try to catch them when the songs would play on the radio :)

OMG. One In A Million is one of the most beautiful ballads and Larry's voice is so striking. Y'all are TRIPPIN'. Meanwhile, Let's Get Serious is one of the worst songs by a Jackson and there is ZERO soul in it.

The ideal start, though "Let's Get Serious" is genuinely good and is only low for me because the top ten is really good.

Today's extra is an ode to roller skating. Inspired by the bassline of Chic's "Good Times", it danced its way to #5 on the soul chart.

One of my ALL-TIME favorite voices. A legend. No White Lady has ever laid it down like Teena! Oh! I only knew her from Loverboy... Both of these songs sound good, groovy, fun. Downloaded them! |

One in a million and Don’t say goodnight were just a bit too boring to me. Vocals were good in both cases, but melody and music were far from the other songs in this list for me.
12. Special lady (11) was a much better ballad, in terms of melody (especially chorus) and music.
11. Let’s get serious (8) sounded like a fun Stevie Wonder song to me, with a production that seemed a bit ahead of its time.
