Great to see 'Dove' place, Cymande did well on my ballot.

EW&F are the only artist I gave as much love as Stevie Wonder, thanks to "Best of My Love" and "Free."

I don't have a three-song rule, but I broke it for Stevie and the Stylistics.

Turns out that Minnie Riperton "Reasons" is a massive omission from my ballot - I'd forgotten all about it. What a monster!Reggie Garner is new to me, and great.

If You Really Love Me is the best structured pop song ever.

I was the other voter for Reasons, had it in my top ten--spectacular guitar and fierce vocal creating that euphoria

Patti Jo is the first track not on Spotify. Know it very well, though.

I realize now that "fierce" is an understatement for Minnie's vocal on "Reasons." Her melismas are often hit-or-miss for me, but her final, impossibly high notes on that song, when they blends with the guitar...man

"Reasons" is pretty gorgeous. "Jungle Boogie" is the most famous iteration of a formula I've liked far better elsewhere in KatG's catalog.

At this point, everything is too low.

Everything will be too low until we reach #1. Which if it's "I Want You Back" I will say "TOO HIGH!"

Figured nobody would vote for Proud Mary. It's as played as Stayin Alive and not as unique.

Yay for Sweet Thing. That was one of my noms, though I obvs didn't bother voting for it because I am a horrible person.

Also, the relatively low placement of "Jungle Boogie" is the biggest surprise of the rollout for me, so far. Had it in the top quarter of my ballot.
― some sad trombone Twilight Zone shit (cryptosicko), Wednesday, 12 April 2017 17:27 (seven years ago) link
"I Need Somebody To Love Tonight" placing = A+

I can never get over how goofily earnest KC is in period clips. Surprised at him placing above some of these others, he does have some stuff I like though
