I loved all of these:

Who's Zoomin' who?- aretha franklin
Vision of love- mariah carey

He also had a hit song during the 70's. I have it on my real one player and iPod. Let me find the title.

the 80s was a great decade for music and part of that success was down to hitmakers such as narada himself- he was a hit machine of whom produced so many classics that are still memorable and great to this very day. he had a winnning formula that worked so well. btw, how will i know sounds similar to who's zoomin who, don't you think?
