I listed "Mama Used to Say" upthread: a huge hit in England, #2 on te black chart, but like so many R&B hits of the era a dud on the pop chart.
Here's where I recommend The Blerb Radio Podcast, in which Thomas Inskeep and Michael Heyliger discuss every #1 and #2 of the eighties R&B chart.

is "escapade" from the 80s? i guess the album's from 89 but it came out as a single in jan 1990 and got big after that
― dyl, Wednesday, 19 April 2017 07:24 (seven years ago) link
I played Rhythm Nation 1814 about a thousand times in the fall of 1989, so for me it's definitely '89.

or 75 idk
I am devastated to learn that Raydio/Ray Parker Jr's masterpiece, More Than One Way To Love a Woman came out in 79. It would have been in my top 10 for that poll.

― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Wednesday, 19 April 2017 13:48 (seven years ago) link
I'll have others later, but that one must be nominated asap and I'm all too happy to do it.
Can't quite wrap my mind around Moments In Love as r'n'b. At that point we should include the Pet Shop Boys and Frankie Goes to Hollywood.
― gospodin simmel, Wednesday, 19 April 2017 14:00 (seven years ago) link
My list is composed almost exclusively of charting singles. I'm sure I'll have another long list to contribute once I dig into album tracks.
― Lipbra Geraldoman (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 19 April 2017 14:01 (seven years ago) link
Not to mention freestyle tracks, which is a whole can of worms unto itself.
― Lipbra Geraldoman (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 19 April 2017 14:02 (seven years ago) link
i included "moments in love" b/c (in the us) it charted only on the r&b charts (not highly but still) and b/c the only station i hear playing it nowadays is the classic r&b station (often but not always during quiet storm segments)
― dyl, Wednesday, 19 April 2017 16:24 (seven years ago) link
included nocera's "summertime summertime" despite being freestyle b/c it also charted r&b (#47 peak, compared to a #84 pop peak) which again is more than some other freestyle tracks nominated (like "point of no return") can say
should be noted that some of the michael jackson singles that were nominated without objection missed the r&b charts entirely
― dyl, Wednesday, 19 April 2017 16:30 (seven years ago) link
anyway i figure considerations of goodness of fit will inevitably creep into voters' decisions
― dyl, Wednesday, 19 April 2017 16:33 (seven years ago) link
Yeah, that's why I'm reluctant to genre-police. It's R&B if it gets a vote.
