Sex and Religion Keep Tina Turner Famous and Humble

Guh.

Anyway, figured we'd do another if the first one got 20 votes.

Jet Magazine's Soul Brothers Top 20 Singles: January 7, 1982

Andy K, Saturday, 7 February 2009 00:53 (seventeen years ago)

Man, what a wealth of riches!! Chic vs. Cheryl Lynn vs. EWF for me . . . but any of these would be a great pick. Voted Chic just because they're Chic.

Nebuchadnezzar Strychnine (Pancakes Hackman), Saturday, 7 February 2009 01:04 (seventeen years ago)

Haven't heard a few of these, but I'm gonna have to go with Cheryl Lynn.

The Brainwasher, Saturday, 7 February 2009 01:05 (seventeen years ago)

Bobby Caldwell a very close second.

The Brainwasher, Saturday, 7 February 2009 01:07 (seventeen years ago)

Chuck Brown, but yeah, hard to not vote for the white boy. 01, 02, 05, 09, 13 all very close. Almost everything else (except YMCA and Now That We Found Love) sort of close.

Andy K, Saturday, 7 February 2009 01:11 (seventeen years ago)

18, too -- egh. I like ONE ADC Band song through Roll with the Punches.

Andy K, Saturday, 7 February 2009 01:12 (seventeen years ago)

You should definitely make more of these polls btw

The Brainwasher, Saturday, 7 February 2009 01:13 (seventeen years ago)

I'll shoot for one a week until it gets old. Quite a bit of overlap from week to week, but we can skip around -- almost 30 years of this stuff.

Andy K, Saturday, 7 February 2009 01:17 (seventeen years ago)

Andy K, Saturday, 7 February 2009 01:19 (seventeen years ago)

"September", tho since I'm just about to vote, I can be lobbied for "Shake Your Groove Thing"

But yeah, what a great list of songs

System Jr. (Mackro Mackro), Saturday, 7 February 2009 01:29 (seventeen years ago)

Voted peaches & herb. Remembered the superb 12" mix of that

System Jr. (Mackro Mackro), Saturday, 7 February 2009 01:32 (seventeen years ago)

impossible

PappaWheelie V, Saturday, 7 February 2009 03:11 (seventeen years ago)

Although I think Take that to the Bank should get some votes

PappaWheelie V, Saturday, 7 February 2009 03:12 (seventeen years ago)

EWF, Chic and the Jacksons are all so close for me, but ultimately I have to salute one of the weirdest hit singles ever: "Aqua Boogie." "WOULD YOU SHUT UP?!"

If Timi Yuro would be still alive, most other singers could shut up, Saturday, 7 February 2009 09:43 (seventeen years ago)

what a good year! think i will go with The Jacksons - Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground).

p-noid (titchyschneiderMk2), Saturday, 7 February 2009 10:12 (seventeen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

System, Friday, 13 February 2009 00:01 (seventeen years ago)

There are some strong contenders, but September is clearly the best.

ablaeser, Friday, 13 February 2009 01:27 (seventeen years ago)

yeah, was the year that amongst giants, Chic ran away with it, but over time, Earth, Wind & Fire - September

PappaWheelie V, Friday, 13 February 2009 01:30 (seventeen years ago)

These lists are the fucking best.

i'm shy (Abbott), Friday, 13 February 2009 03:19 (seventeen years ago)

oh shit stuck between Jacksons and Bar-kays. "Le Freak" and "Aqua Boogie" are mad serious too

The Reverend, Friday, 13 February 2009 03:24 (seventeen years ago)

Made my decision:

BUUUYYYURRrrnnnn.... dunka uhn dunka uhn dunka uhn dunka
BEEYYUUURRRrrrrr.... dunka uhn dunka uhn dunka uhn dunka

Voted Cheryl Lynn, enjoyed the issue. Nice full-page Rick James ad, sad full-page Donnie Hathaway pic.

energizing the base (briania), Friday, 13 February 2009 05:16 (seventeen years ago)

I'm all for shitcanning those assy Billboard lists in favor of just polling these from now on kthx.

Nurse Detrius (Eric H.), Friday, 13 February 2009 05:54 (seventeen years ago)

:-/

The Reverend, Friday, 13 February 2009 06:05 (seventeen years ago)

No offense intended.

Nurse Detrius (Eric H.), Friday, 13 February 2009 06:29 (seventeen years ago)

Right.

Bonnie Pointer - Free My from My Freedom

Yes, the next one will be formatted while sober.

Andy K, Friday, 13 February 2009 16:55 (seventeen years ago)

EWF but what an embarrassment of riches

J0hn D., Friday, 13 February 2009 17:07 (seventeen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

System, Saturday, 14 February 2009 00:01 (seventeen years ago)

I voted "September." This marks the first time what I've voted for on ILX actually won.

Nurse Detrius (Eric H.), Saturday, 14 February 2009 01:09 (seventeen years ago)
