Nice, lots of great picks. Would particularly recommend Luther Vandross' Never Too Much, Erykah Badu's Mama's Gun, Rose Royce's In Full Bloom, Cymande's self-titled, and a compilation of Tom Moulton's extended remixes for Gamble and Huff's incredible Philadelphia International Records called Philadelphia International Classics: The Tom Moulton Remixes (you can probably tell that they didn't go the maverick cryptic route when it came to titling that particular set). Be cool to see this expanded at some point, but you've covered a lot of ground and filled this chart with top-notch albums.

Excellent. Could definitely use some Charles Bradley, and a bit more Womack and James Brown wouldn't hurt
