Misspelling..:

"Get Off" is a B-side and different than:

"Gett Off" which is the D&P Hit song.

A very strong list, -- but why is "Solo" on position 60..? eek

"Solo" is the weakest song on Come, imo.

"Space"

"Come"
"Letitgo"

"Papa"

those are the great songs on Come, right?

Thank you.

I forgot about that detail with Gett off.

I looooooove the vocal performance and multilayered vocals in Solo, just hypnotic, love it.

I'm a big fan of vocal harmonies (Labelle, Tempations, Smokey Robinson) so I guess that's why it appeals to me.
