"Everything I Miss at Home," Cherrelle (12/17/88)
Jam & Lewis helmed this glorious no-apologies cheating ballad for their favorite female singer (I don't doubt that Miss Jackson was their fave femme artist, but Cherrelle can sang) and with it helped her to her sole #1 (after a pair of #2 hits alongside Alexander O'Neal, "Saturday Love" (1986) and "Never Knew Love Like This" (early 1988)). Mind you, she got an assist from O'Neal here as well, but it was strictly an assist; this wasn't a duet. "Home" is lush balladry at its finest, classy and rich like a lobster souffle served on fine china, yet at no point overdone. Jam & Lewis know how to give just the right light touch, as does the miraculous Cherrelle. This is the good stuff. A
