Name a song that should have been a hit?

Not any Prince song, but another artist.

Green Light, by John Legend. I am still shocked this was not the top hit of that year. I'm still sick about it. lol

Anything by Rahsaan Patterson. Sick that he never will get his due.

The Family Stand; don't get me started..lol

TTD..

All you others say Hell Yea!! woot!

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

Does the song have to be a single that flopped or are you including album tracks?
