Great song by the SOS Band. I would have never guessed it was them if I heard the song without knowing who it was before hand.

November 4, 1972 - She had problems with the "Clean Up Woman" and now she was going toe-to-toe with a different portion of the working sector. Reached #46 on the Hot 100, and peaked at #6 on the R&B charts. Baby Sitter - Betty Wright October 28, 1978 - They had topped both the Hot 100 and R&B charts the previous year.

Stop Doggin' Me Around - Klique October 31, 1987 - This one topped the R&B charts, but only reached #60 on the Hot 100.

7 weeks at #6? I guess the shenanigans of the Hot 100 in 1982 occurred on other charts too.

November 6, 1976 - Toward the end of their successful Dunhill/ABC era in the 70s, they hit #7 R&B and #71 on the Hot 100 with this single.

On the R&B charts, this beautiful ballad peaked at #10. Ribbon In The Sky - Stevie Wonder

This was one of those #1s, a song that just missed reaching AT40, peaking at #41.

"Work To Do" is a song that I don't think I heard any version of until this decade. Heard the Isleys version on a R&B oldies stations several times. And heard Vanessa Williams' version a couple times on AT40 and CT40 shows because she made the top 40 with it.
You know who has never posted on this thread that is possibly the authority on this genre? blackbowl, whose last post of any kind was just days after this thread was created a couple months ago. Seems to have disappeared from this board like so many have over the years.

November 25, 1972: His last Hot 100 single peaked at #53 and remained on the charts for 12 weeks. On the R&B charts it stopped short of the top during his 15 week run, peaking at #3. Woman Don't Go Astray - King Floyd November 29, 1986: It peaked at #53 on the Hot 100, but #2 on the R&B charts. It was the biggest solo hit for the lead guitarist of The Time and featured a legend who bought his own brand of funk to the masses. Crazay - Jesse Johnson (featuring Sly Stone)

December 5, 1970 - His only Hot 100 single (#61 peak) made him a one-hit R&B wonder when it peaked at #13. This funky number was released on the Warren label, which Stax Records distributed. Like Clarence Carter, Stevie Wonder, and Ray Charles, he overcame his blindness to deliver a funk classic. Great bass riff, it has been covered by several artists through the years most notably Freddie King. What better way to proclaim your love than with the lyric, "I love you better than a hog loves slop"? Big Leg Woman (With A Short Short Mini Skirt) - Israel "Popper Topper" Tolbert December 8, 1984 - Hard to believe this song only reach #69 on the Hot 100 and #26 on the R&B charts. Through the years, this great song has become a standard choice on wedding play lists. After All - Al Jarreau
