#Let5D0it - 50

Having gone chronologically, I was limited with my closer, but this is an amazing song to finish a great challenge.

Hey y'all prepare yourself for...

The Spinners - The Rubberband Man (1976)

With the news that 50 points is going to be needed, this will likely fall short - which is a shame. Another song that always makes me smile.

Another group struggling for a consensus pick?

Steely Dan - Rikki Don't Lose That Number (1974)

Giving a nod to Horace Silver's Song For My Father which might have made my list if I could have found it as a single.

Ann Peebles - I Can't Stand the Rain (1973)

Putting my list together, I half expected this to be with my lesser known picks (like days 19 and 23). I must have been living under a rock!

Thank Missy Elliot I guess.

Stevie Wonder - Superstition (1972)

I was in a right old quandary about which way to go with my early 70s Stevie pick - but I was always sure whichever one won out was getting my last bonus point.

11 points please!

Longer version is the one for me.
