February 16, 1985In the spotlight is a song that rose to #26 on the soul chart and #57 on the Hot 100. While the artist the song is credited to sang the other songs on his album, he didn't actually sing this particular song. Yo' Little Brother - Nolan Thomas My local top 40 station played this a lot at the time. It's one of those rare "chart flops" that I remember vividly while most people have probably never heard it.

Besides the Soul/R&B chart spotlight, why not do a Country chart spotlight thread?
