In 85 when Freddie hit big The Commodores had Nightshift, Kool & the Gang hit with Fresh, Maze with Back In Stride Caravan of Love by Isley-Jasper-Isley, The Bar-Kays had Your Place or Mine, Confunkshun Electric Lady. In 86 Midnight Star hit with Midas Touch, Clinton was funkin hard with Do Fries Go with That Shake and of course Cameo had their biggest hit to date. 85-86 was kinda the last hurrah for a lot of these acts though.
Oh and I completely left out the Whispers... those cats went strong right up into the New jack era... Rock Steady was 87. EWF came back in 87 too.
