"Rescue Me" is a #rhythmAndBlues song first recorded and released as a single by American #soul singer-songwriter #FontellaBass in 1965. The original versions of the record, and #BMI, give the songwriting credit to Raynard Miner and Carl William Smith, although many other sources also credit Bass herself as a co-writer. It would prove the biggest hit of Bass's career, reaching #1 on the #RAndB charts for four weeks and placing at #4 on the #Billboard #Hot100. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFI7eQt3ghI

"Easy" is a song by American #funk and soul band #Commodores from their fifth studio album, Commodores (1977), released on the #Motown label. Group member #LionelRichie wrote "Easy" with the intention of it becoming another crossover hit for the group given the success of a previous single, "#JustToBeCloseToYou", which spent two weeks at number one on the US #Billboard #HotSoulSingles chart (now known as the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saaLW0jiiUE
