A little fun for a Friday Night.

2 great soul singers! One amazing song!

Points scored or deducted for hair, costumes, lipsyncability, presence and overall cool.

You decide.

Have at it.

Eighties PING

On “Oh, Girl!”, the Chi-lites win. Hands down. And I don’t need to “go to the tape”.

[incredulous joe]

The banana yellow “Huggy Bear Wear” with the flaired sleeves does it every time! </sarc>

[Category Four]

On “Oh, Girl!”, the Chi-lites win. Hands down. True ... although, fair being fair, Young would take it on "Everytime You Go Away" (one of, IMHO, the defining songs of 1985).

I favor Chi-Lites “Have You Seen Her”

That is an awesome song!

I did the whole Chi-lites youtube catalog, while I waited on this tread sipping my IPA.

I’ve done other non-political (fun) threads on a Friday night that just took off. This one was a dud.

Maybe our leader has sucked all the soul out of the country?

Awesome tune. I think the Young’s video’s are a strike against him.

We have a tradition of watching “Planes, Trains and Automobile” every so often at Thanksgiving and that tune is the kleenex moment at the end.
