May 4, 1985One of their 15 Top 10 hits on the soul chart, it climbed as high as #8. I always thought this sounded familiar to one of their earlier hits, "Outstanding". I Found My Baby - The Gap Band May 5, 1973Released as the follow-up to his #1 hit "Me And Mrs. Jones", this song's message of Black pride unsurprisingly did not do well with mainstream audiences- it only got up to #79 on the Hot 100. On the soul chart, it peaked at #29. Am I Black Enough For You? - Billy Paul
