Work (and life) have me down WAY bad, good sis. I will try this weekend for you at some point though. I don't know the majority of these songs, which makes it difficult.

There's only a couple songs here I actively dislike. This isn't something I'd go out of my way to play, but it was a pleasant discovery.

34. Don't Have To Shop Around - The Mad LadsThe Mad Lads were formed in Memphis by high school classmates John Gary Williams, Julius Green, William Brown, and Robert Phillips. They originally went by the name The Emeralds, but had to change it because another group was using that name. Their first charted single came with the 1965 release of "Don't Have To Shop Around". It peaked at #11 on the soul chart and cracked the Hot 100. Three of the members are no longer with us. Julius Green died in 2013, William Brown died in 2015, and John Gary Williams died in 2019. In 2014 the group was inducted into the National Rhythm & Blues Hall Of Fame. Points: 93 Average: 28.85 Standard Deviation: 3.913 (3rd lowest)BBπ - 21 willapted33 - 22 wyckyd - 27 Dinosaur Encyclopedia - 27 π―π² dollybaby π―π² - 28 wheatsquares33 - 29 rowellfarm490 - 29 singingrulebritannia - 31 .indulgecountry - 31 erosthegreekgod - 31 SHOOTER - 32 gonecountry - 33 Soulsista - 34We cross the 100-point mark with our first Top 10 loss.

32. Do The Funky Chicken - Rufus ThomasBorn and raised in the Memphis area, Rufus Thomas Jr. got his start as a dancer and comedian for minstrel shows. He later became a DJ at WDIA in Memphis, and in 1953, recorded the first hit for Sun Records, "Bear Cat". A few years later he began recording at Stax, where he would release numerous singles like 1969's "Do The Funky Chicken". It peaked at #5 on the soul chart and #28 on the Hot 100, and was later sampled in "Still Talkin'" by Eazy-E and "Don't Be Commin' (In My Face)" by Missy Elliott. Rufus passed away from heart failure in 2001 at the age of 84.

Sorry I didn't have time to submit for this. I was prepping for Vegas all last week and just got back from Vegas last night. I thought I might have time to sneak it in, but couldn't make it work!

29. Stuck To You - Nikka CostaBorn in Japan to Italian-American parents, Domenica Costa got her start in the business at an early age, recording a single with Don Ho when she was only five years old. She would later perform with the likes of Frank Sinatra, and had her breakthrough in the US in the 2000s after her song "Like a Feather" was used in ads for Tommy Hilfiger. Later in the decade she signed with Stax, and in 2008 released her album Pebble To a Pearl. "Stuck To You" was the first single from the album to be available as a digital download.
