I see Diana Ross made her way on to a few lists. Am i the only person that can't stand her?

I mean, even her Supremes stuff is just ok at best to me. Never been a fan...

Great song.

Bobby has at least two great songs under his belt. Not many people can say that.

Also, we know 2Pac and Common were fans...

If I had to pick my favorite Gap Band song, that would probably be it.

Diana Ross herself isn't amazing, but "Come See About Me" is. The Afghan Whigs' cover is even better.

I keep meaning to research a lot of the hip hop songs I love and which samples are used.

Cuz many times the soul sample makes the song and the rapper almost just gets in the way.

I probably love a bunch of songs I dont know

Yeah, kind of strange now. Seeing as Mya is a big deal and mother is deceased.

I don't know a lot of the Ripperton catalog. Just didn't get into the whole love song thing. She is quite talented though.
