"Save Your Love (For #1)," Rene & Angela (7/20/85)
Significant for one very significant reason: this is basically the first song to top the R&B charts featuring a rap (it's an uncredited performance by no less than Kurtis Blow). Rene Moore and Angela Winbush (now the wife of Ronald Isley) specialized in machine-driven funk-lite and sumptuous ballads; they did better before and after this fairly pedestrian slice of R&B, very much of its times. But Blow, Kurtis, Blow! B
