Some songs I considered for this series but I decided to cut for various reasons, usually simply to make the lists more compact. Part 1 (I'll post 7 more tomorrow night):
Gladys Knight & the Pips - If I Were Your Woman
Eugene McDaniels - The Parasite (for Buffy)
Doris Duke - Ghost of Myself
Darondo - Didn't I
Abner Jay - I'm So Depressed
Candi Staton - I'm Just A Prisoner (Of Your Good Lovin')

"If I Were Your Woman" would've made my top 5

I unfortunately couldn't get my list finished in time despite listening to the rankdown. I will say Sharon Jones and Sade would've been my top 2 and Dancing Girl would've been my highest discovery at #3.

One of the first records to prominently use a drum machine. Rest In Power Mr. Thomas. 30
Why Can't We Live Together Timmy Thomas
#30??? I'm wondering if the 1.5 minutes of instrumental at the start turned people off? This is a beautiful song and just as pertinent today as it was when originally released. That said, this was a HARD list...

after losing my #s 11 & 12 i certainly did not expect to have the #1 rankdown closeness (so far)...i always seem to finish w/ a middle of the pack closeness (or lower) so this is unheard of

{SOUL WALL}#30: Really, really nice song, had to put ten songs bottom ten lol #29: This song is lowkey wild, constantly moving and wiggling around. I've been meaning to get into Nyro, and this seems like as good of a starting point as any. #28: I would have loved to compare and contrast the two versions of "Strawberry", but this was probably the choice I would have preferred, anyway. #27: I had a feeling I was going to do poorly, but this song being revealed in the bottom five all but confirms for me that I'm gonna have a bad time. #26: Like the song, love the sentiment. #25: The only song here that I didn't get into more than a bit. Certainly well-made, just in a sea of soul sharks. #24: This one also shouldn't be in the bottom ten, because it's probably the best one of the experimental lot. Am I surprised? Of course not. #23: I would have put this #1 in approximately 95% of rankdowns. It's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. #22: I have watched Jackie Brown, and this song's good. I have a lot to add here #21: "People Get Ready", I would have expected to show up in the bottom ten. Not this. Not every white boy should make soul-adjacent music, but young Steve Winwood gets a pass. Give me a top ten where I have no top tens in it, gates. Make history!

Ultimately, it's what it is that caused me to rank it so low, as there's not really a ton of substance to it. Having said that, it would kill at parties, there's no denying that.

I was going to say that this rankdown is "ageist", only to remember that literally every song here is old.

"Band of Gold" has a very nice melody, yes, and it feels like one of those songs that would really grow on me with repeat listens.
I can't possibly listen to "War" with new ears, which, admittedly, hurts it for me a bit. There's also no denying its power.

I'm pretty sure the original take wouldn't have worked as well.
Wilson Pickett was just really cool.

Even if it ended up in my bottom ten, I'm still really glad you included it, anyway. It's not like soul just stopped generating great songs after the 70's. There may be less of them, but they do exist, and Sharon and the Dap-Kings definitely had their share.
