Ranking: Songs from Janet Jackson - Control

   After two middling albums, Janet Jackson finally broke through with 1986's Control.  Thanks to her co-producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, she crafted a remarkable mix of R&B, funk, disco and pop sounds.  This album was a blueprint for many for Jam & Lewis productions with other acts.   And many female singers followed Jackson's style on this album for their own releases.  I always forget that there were only nine songs on this album.  A concise listen.

1.  When I Think Of You

2.  What Have You Done For Me Lately

3.  Nasty

4.  Let's Wait Awhile

5.  Control

6.  Pleasure Principle

7.  Funny How Time Flies

8.  You Can Be Mine

9.  He Doesn't Know I'm Alive
