"Young Love" by Janet Jackson

There isn't much from Janet Jackson's impressive catalogue that wasn't a well-known hit; she is ranked the 9th best chart performing artist of all-time, and the 2nd best of the 1990s. Most people caught onto her talents in 1986 when she released "Control," her third album, which spawned huge hits like "What Have You Done For Me Lately" (#4), "Nasty" (#3), "When I Think Of You" (#1), "Control" (#5), "Let's Wait Awhile" (#2), and "The Pleasure Principle" (#14). Yes, all of those are from a single record, and her follow-up, 1989's "Rhythm Nation 1814" did even better.

Many people are not aware that Janet Jackson had two albums prior to her breakout success. "Young Love" was her very first single from 1982, but it stalled at #64. Who else misses that early 80s funk?
