"Gotta Get You Home Tonight," Eugene Wilde (1/26/85)
Reagan II: Electric Boogaloo began with this song representing black America - fitting, as we were on the cusp of the Quiet Storm epoch. Wilde was a perfectly fine smooth R&B singer who had a great year in '85 (we'll see him again), and then seemingly vanished. But the artifacts he left are fine ones, particularly "Tonight," which not only gave us the basis of a Foxy Brown single 11 years later, but is itself a lovely piece of relaxed, sexy R&B purely of its time. B+
