ranking beyond the top 10 or so was difficult, especially comparing the Rufus and Syreeta songs vs Stevie.
"They Won't Go When I Go" the main cut I thought of after I hit send. kinda burned out on Superstition by now!

It would have been top-3 for me if I'd been paying better attention to what he wrote for other artists.

Rufus' "Tell Me Something Good" has got to be one of the most amazing "given away" songs ever. One of these great songs that sounds like nothing else.

I am -- honestly -- shocked that "Part Time Lover" didn't place at all.

lumber up, limbaugh down (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 11 October 2011 23:58 (1 year ago) Permalink

it's not as widely disliked as "i just called" but it is as widely dismissed

some dude, Wednesday, 12 October 2011 00:00 (1 year ago) Permalink

So much the better arrangement though -- the Vandross scatting, the long melody lines.

lumber up, limbaugh down (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 12 October 2011 00:03 (1 year ago) Permalink

It's also the randy stepbrother/antithesis of "I Just Called..."

Gary Byrd and the GB Experience - "The Crown" (Produced by Stevie Wonder)

I've always though that the overtly Stevie parts of this (roughly 4:22-6:40) belong in his canon.

But, the Gary Byrd "raps" are pretty awful.

san lazaro, Wednesday, 12 October 2011 00:20 (1 year ago) Permalink

anybody make a spotify for this? i mean i've heard most of these anyway but still

No "Fingertips"? Fuck this bullshit poll that I didn't vote in.

turfin' bird (The Reverend), Wednesday, 12 October 2011 04:39 (1 year ago) Permalink

WTF I was the only voter for "You Met Your Match." Happy to see 2 other people voted for "All Day Sucker."

ha rev otm, i thought "fingertips" was a lock

some dude, Wednesday, 12 October 2011 11:20 (1 year ago) Permalink

xp Aw, Gary Byrd's Are You Ready for Black Power? is great.

I thought Fingertips would be Top 10, easy. So much joy in that record.
