Emotions, but Thinking of You by SS is the best song by any of these groups

[Planet Mars]

Oh wow, several points were made, even though I typically associate girl groups with the 60's (The Supremes, Martha & The Vandellas, Shirelles, Ronnettes, Velvelettes etc.) The 70's was pretty good in that department too.

 

 

Went with the Emotions because that song is perfect from start to finish. Maurice White was a genius and their collaborations with EW&F were always top tier.

[Armani?]

Best Of My Love

[UnanimousBB16]

It was close, but I have to support 70s Supremes with "Stoned Love". Jean, Mary, and Cindy were such a great lineup.

 

The 60s girl groups will be interesting to vs.

[Devin]

The Emotions & Supremes def my favorites here!

they came in and said Diana who, we can sing too

 

Jean Terrel (Tami's sister) is very underrated

[dabunique]

My fave personally are The Three Degrees, my mom would play this record out

[GoodGuyGoneGhetto]

For me:

 

• Best Of My Love

• Wants Ads

• Under The Influence

I love to see the opinions on 60s female solo and girl groups. 

[99sandthe2000s]

we are family

I gotta all my sisters with me

[Thinking Of You]

Best Of My Love by far. 
 

Tamia sampled it in her debut album and it’s such a good song. It should’ve been a hit single. Mariah would’ve taken it in two seconds if it were offered to her. It’s right in her lane

Ahhhhhhhhhh!!! Don’t do this to me! I think LaBelle’s “Lady Marmalade” has become extremely underrated in the 21st century for obvious reasons. It’s still my favorite version. Butttt… I’m looking at The Emotions and Sister Sledge and I can’t resist the “Saturday afternoon barbecue at Nana’s” anthems. I still remember what her huge speakers looked like. 
 

Going with Sister Sledge. “We Are Family” is just too classic, and I really enjoy the parent album it comes from.

Poor Want Ads not gettin any votes and its technically da second biggest song behind BOML

[LesFleur]

I can't believe Want Ads got paid dust in the poll

 

But y'all know I'm Team Supreme. Plus that intro has to be one of the greatest of all time

[StonedSoulPicnic]

But lipstick on his collar
Perfume on it too
Tells me he's been lying
Tell ya what I'm gonna do

 

[Bey_Rihstan]

Sister Sledge - He's The Greatest Dancer

The Emotions - Boogie Wonderland/Best of My Love/

[NavyBlue]

Babyyyy I’m torn. For me it’s between: 

Want Ads

Best of My Love

We Are Family 

All bops and my anthems, but ultimately my vote has to go to BOML.
