Cheryl 'Pepsii' Riley - Me, Myself and I (1988)

Onetime session vocalist Cheryl "Pepsii" Riley generated lots of discussion with the electrifying single "Thanks For My Child." It singlehandedly elevated her debut album, which was a decent Full Force production adequately showcasing her sizzling voice, even if it didn't always feature standout material. But the single, which some interpreted as an endorsement of unwed mothers, was so declarative in its vocal and compelling in its theme that many overlooked the other flaws on the album.
