Todd Rundgren‘s ‘A Wizard, a True Star’ is his fourth album self-produced and released March 2, 1973 on Bearsville
Al Jarreau’s "Trouble in Paradise" from his 1983 album balances smooth production and heartfelt lyrics, though it leans into safe territory compared to dynamic tracks like "Mornin’." The Crusaders’ "Street Life," anchored by Randy Crawford’s striking vocals, blends jazz-funk with urban storytelling, celebrated for its timeless appeal yet sometimes criticized for being overly polished. Meanwhile, Irma Thomas's "It's Raining" showcases understated heartbreak with a laid-back R&B feel, emphasizing nuanced vulnerability over big crescendos.
Teddy Pendergrass’ emotionally charged "Joy" triumphs as a late-'80s R&B standout post-recovery, while Thelma Houston’s disco classic "Don’t Leave Me This Way" carries raw urgency and cultural resonance. The Gap Band’s "Outstanding" enchants with its smooth romantic groove, though it risks repetitiveness. Tracks like Maceo Parker’s live "Pass the Peas" highlight razor-sharp funk delivery, reflecting collaborative genius even when staying within known boundaries. Together, these songs reveal rich layers of artistry across eras and genres.
