Let U be the set of all united sets, K be the set of the kids and D be the set of things divided.
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D

Definitely the weakest track on this list.

Exhibit A in the evidence that this pop music thing peaked years ago. What a list! Family Affair, Talking Loud, I'll Take
You There, Lean On Me, Back Stabbers.

Re: Billboard No. 1 R & B singles of 1972
Yeah, really tough call - so many good ones. I went with "Family Affair" (certainly the most nervy single here), "Let's Stay Together," "Talkin' Loud" (ever-so-slightly over "Good Foot"), the Staples and the O'Jays (which is their classic track and possibly the best thing here). REALLY tough to leave off the Spinners and Melvin.

Sly, Talkin’, Bill, Backstabbers and, the best of the bunch Day Dreaming.
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

"Day Dreaming" is such a post-psychedelic masterpiece.

There have been more than 50 votes, and 'In The Rain' has one vote. One.
Backstabbers
In The Rain
I'll Be Around
Day Dreaming
Talkin' Loud
But it almost hurts not to be able to vote for another half-dozen, like 'Oh, Girl'.

No, it hurt me a bit not to vote for it. I was spoiled for choice.

There is some fantastic music on offer, no doubt. But 'ITR' still stands as a condiderable peak for me, even in such lofty company.

Oh man, I'm a big fan of that song too. The jittery rhythm and the mournful, melodramatic vocals are just begging to be sampled by someone. It's an incredible song. In fact, so are most of those on this list, but I'm going for the tough, punchy "Talking Loud", the plaintive yet somehow mellifluous "Oh Girl", the narcotic, spacey groove of "Family Affair", and the warm wraparound that is "Let's Stay Together". But really, there isn't a bad track on that list.
It's before my time but I've been told, he never came back from Karangahape Road.

Don't get me wrong - I love it to bits. I just had no idea it was a #1.
