also, there’s no “Love Come Down” without Kashif, who wrote it. please feast yourself to “I Just Gotta Have You (Lover Turn Me On)", his first hit as a solo artist, a year after LCD. best rewrite ever!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSOUNeiTkiE

weirdly, Evelyn’s “Love Come Down” didn’t chart in the Netherlands
It peaked at 44 in Canada, apparently. I don't think I know it.

I discovered “I Just Gotta Have You (Lover Turn Me On)" when Kashif died. Wonderful.

I'm familiar with 16 of these; Fleetwood Mac is the only one I actually love. As requested:
TOP 5GypsyYou Can Do MagicHold On Eye in the SkyHeart Attack
BOTTOM 5Hard To Say I'm SorryUp Where We BelongThe One You LoveHeartlightEye of the Tiger
"Hold On" was a big hit in Canada due to being an Ian Thomas cover (thus eligible for Canadian content airplay). America's follow-up to "You Can Do Magic", "Right Before Your Eyes", was also an Ian Thomas cover.I think I prefer “I Just Gotta Have You" to this Evelyn King song.

clear winner from that list: Stephanie Mills – What’cha Gonna Do with My Lovin’ - but that’s 1979

I'm with Sunder, I was obsessed with "Eye In The Sky" when it came out. Still dig it mightily.
― Gerald McBoing-Boing, Saturday, 17 July 2021 20:44 (two years ago) link
I was thinking I might vote Eye in the Sky, I Keep Forgettin', or Love Come Down, but I thought about it some more, and this is definitely "I Ran"

Was this purposely pushed to 22 because forks knew it would win?
