"Mercedes Boy," Pebbles (5/21/88)
Far superior to her previous hit, "Mercedes" gives the admittedly limited Pebbles the opportunity to rev up her engine (sorry) on a song which, frankly, deserves a far better singer - but doesn't require one. Like much of the best freestyle, "Mercedes" would be great no matter who's singing, thanks to producers L.A. and Babyface. Tough, mechanistic R&B is the order of the day - and would be for years to come. B+
