Jeffrey Osborne "Stay With Me Tonight"

Clapping made its way into a handful of popular '80s songs. Think: "Centerfield" from John Fogarty and  "Private Eyes" from Hall & Oates. Let's not forget about Jeffrey Osborne's steamy "Stay With Me Tonight". Aside from the fireworks between the sheets, there's multiple opportunities for a double hand-clap before the refrain in his 1983 R&B/pop hit.

Dionne Warwick & Jeffrey Osborne "Love Power"

If the Lifetime/Netflix thriller You premiered in 1987, you could add "Love Power" to the show's soundtrack. The Dionne Warwick and Jeffrey Osborne duet touches on two lovers who never quite get over one another -- even a psychic in Los Angeles said so! In the twisted drama You, Penn Badgley plays the lead character Joe Goldberg who falls in love with Beck, a customer he meets at his bookstore. Joe ultimately stalks Beck by using social media to learn everything he can about her, her family and friends. Joe does any and everything (including masturbating in the bushes and committing multiple murders) to make Beck all his (insert diabolical laugh). Shocked at the amount of fans who fell for Joe, the real-life Badgley took to Twitter to remind these troubled souls that Joe is, um, a killer. Love Power: it rules us and fools us.

Kenny Rogers with Kim Carnes & James Ingram "What About Me?"

The year 2017 saw Kenny Rogers wave goodbye to touring with the conclusion of his world farewell tour. Rogers remarkable career spans nearly 60 years...beginning with "That Crazy Feeling" in 1957. By the 1970s, Rogers etched his name in the history books as his music dominated the Country Music, Hot 100, and Adult Contemporary Charts. The list of artists connected to his 1984 hit "What About Me?" also spans multiple formats, genres and generations. Rogers originally enlisted Barbara Streisand and Lionel Richie to be part of the song, but both dropped out. Then came Jeffrey Osborne and Olivia Newton-John, who both had scheduling conflicts. Rogers settled on Kim Carnes and James Ingram, and the trio turned the ballad into Rogers final #1 hit on the Adult Contemporary Chart.

Jeffrey Osborne "You Should Be Mine (The Woo Woo Song)"

Why on earth did Jeffrey Osborne add "The Woo Woo Song" to the title of "You Should Be Mine"?  You can thank his daughter for that.  He said his daughter didn't know the correct title and used to ask him to sing "the woo woo song" -- which were lyrics to "You Should Be Mine".

Jeffrey Osborne - "On The Wings of Love"

My Grandmother asked me to include this song on a CD for her.  The challenge will be finding 20 other songs to add to the playlist.
