Madonna, Open Your Heart>Seduction, Two To Make It Right When I read this is my head, I read it as "Madonna's Open Your Heart sounds like Seduction's Two To Make It Right". LVK, did you mean to do it like this: Seduction's "Two To Make It Right">Madonna's "Open Your Heart" I think it's better to put down the newer song first & then the older song instead of the other way around. Again, that's just my opinion.

Here's an interesting one: "Lost In Emotion" by Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam resembles a combination of Mary Wells chestnuts: "The One Who Really Loves You" & "You Beat Me To The Punch." I believe Full Force was intentionally going for that.
Also, many ballads by Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes could pass as songs by the Dells, as Teddy Pendergrass had a very similar husky voice like Marvin Junior.

When Expose hit in 1993 after a change in the lineup and music style, the biggest hit they had, "Never Get Over You Getting Over Me" always sounded to me like Wilson Phillips. Actually "Never Get Over You (Getting Over Me)" peaked at #3 on AT40. It was not Expose's biggest hit - that title goes to "Seasons Change" in 1988.

Aretha Franklin's "Freeway of Love" (1985) and Sonique's "It Feels So Good" (2000) has a five-note sequence similar to "Solid" by Ashford & Simpson, if I remember correctly.

"The biggest hit" = after they changed their music style. I meant for it to read, "the biggest hit of the new Expose".

On 'Cherish' 1 reviewer said that JT's vocal resembled Dennis DeYoung's on 'Babe'.

How about "Paperback Writer" by the Beatles and "Last Train To Clarksville" by the Monkees. Complete with the falsetto ad libs!

The song of theirs that really sounded like Wilson Phillips was their AC hit from early 1994, "In Walked Love". That one reminded me a lot of "Impulsive". Yeah, the new Expose definitely harmonized more than the original line-up.

I always thought Joshua Kadison (biggest hit - Jessie, 1994) sounded like Elton John

I'm amazed no one's mentioned Bad Finger, whose *job* was to sound like the Beatles. :-) (At least, i don't think anyone did; I see I hadn't read out the whole thread. Oops) And for the Beach Baby fans among us, you might enjoy this actually pretty impressive fanvid: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RWVe2EcQ7Q
