Ray Charles’s "I Can’t Stop Loving You" reimagined a country classic with orchestral grandeur, winning Grammys and broad appeal, while Kanye West’s "All Falls Down" spun reflections on materialism into a polished hit, powered by Syleena Johnson’s warm vocals. D’Angelo’s "Lady" stood out for its understated neo-soul charm, and Luther Vandross’s "Take You Out" showcased his timeless delivery, balancing R&B tradition with contemporary flair.
