Culprit Chaka Khan
Title I'm Every Woman
Year 1978
Written by Nickolas Ashford and Valerie Simpson
Submitted by Pad

This is a superb song, but it's impossible not to flinch at the end when the first gear change arrives. It's not your run-of-the-mill gear change, that's for sure, because no sooner has it all gone up than it all comes back down again. But there she goes again, up and down, up and down. If you were to push the truck-driving analogy painfully far, you might conclude that Chaka Khan is musically crossing the Andes in a juggernaut. Or something.
