Mmmmmm, I might have to take mild umbrage with the Patrice Rushen, ArchCarrier. The single was released in '79 (and its attendant album was released in late '79, so I'd suspect the same of the single, although I can't find its actual release date), and the info I have is that it didn't chart until 1980. It's iffy, I admit, and yours is the final ruling, but just wanted to put it out there because it's a fantastic song.

Well it ranked top 20 in the previous poll so it's a bit redundant to include it here.

"careless whisper" was already nominated as credited to george michael (as it was for the uk release)
(i mention this just b/c this case might be harder to detect automatically than other duplicate-nominations)

Good to have you back, Tuomas! You would have loved the 70's tracks poll as well.
I love 'Haven't You Heard' as much as anyone, and I would gladly allow it if no one had voted for it in the previous poll, but because it did so well I'm going to disallow it. Put all your votes on 'Forget Me Nots' instead and see if we can get Patrice into the top 10!

'Gonna Get Along Without You Now' is also '79, unfortunately.

Joubert Singers - Stand On The Word (Larry Levan remix)
Even though this is commonly credited as such, the track was not remixed by Larry Levan, and he wasn't even the one who discovered it. We've discussed it in this thread, and Red Bull Music Academy recently did a thorough article on the whole tangled history of the track, and why it's erroneously been thought to be a Levan mix. But the best-known version is not a remix of any kind; Tony Humphries did later re-record it with Phyllis Joubert's choir and mix it, but that version is not as well-known these days as the original.
― Tuomas, Sunday, 23 April 2017 11:16 (seven years ago) link
I'm stripping remix credits and other version information from the tracks anyway. I'll try to note it if many people voted for a specific version.
