"Oasis," Roberta Flack (1/7/89)
A full 11 years after her last #1, '78's "The Closer I Get to You" (with Donny Hathaway) - and a half-decade since she'd even hit the R&B top 40 ('83's "Tonight, I Celebrate My Love," with Peabo Bryson, which hit #5) - Flack came back hugely with this one song, a very perky, sax-spiked uptempo cut full of bland platitudes and blander production. She deserved better. C
