"If Only You Knew," Patti LaBelle (1/28/84)
Much better. Patti's first #1 since "Lady Marmalade" in '75 was a classy, understated ballad which featured precious little of her trademark wailing, and frankly is the better for it. Yes, the production's a bit mid-'80s soupy and overly glossy, but the songwriting and singing get it over. B+
