I chose only tracks that were both written and produced by Jam & Lewis or Jellybean--so that excluded songs like Gladys Knight & The Pips' "When You're Far Away" which they wrote, but didn't produce and George Michael's "Monkey" remix which they didn't write.

I limited each artist to one song except for Cherrelle and Alexander O'Neal's "Saturday Love" which was too good to leave out and I felt they should be represented with solo songs as well.

12" versions were selected in every case except for Howard Johnson's "Knees" for which I couldn't find an mp3 anywhere and Cherrelle's "I Didn't Mean To Turn You On" because the 12" remix is a little lame compared to the album version in my opinion.
