"Miss You Like Crazy," Natalie Cole (6/3/89)
Nat's daughter had a quintet of #1s in the '70s, most all deserving, a mix of lite-funk and classy, honest-to-goodness romantic balladry. But her late '80s comeback, in advance of her Grammy-winning necrophilia, was unfortunately predicated on adult-contempo (read: whitewashed, and please read racial politics into that) ballads better suited for the likes of Celine Dion. This was certainly no exception. At one point she may have known better, but the coke likely took out that filter. D+
