For my first song for 1991, I am looking at "Motown Philly" by Boyz 2 Men. Boyz 2 Men was one of the biggest R&B groups of the 90's and this is one of their biggest hits. Although some people might not know the song by just the title, once you hear it, it is unmistakable.
Unfortunately, this song does does not conform with the golden section or fibonacci numbers. To be honest, I couldn't even really find a climax to the song. Which leads me to this question: Will finding the golden section be harder in R&B/Rap songs? Since there is no real band playing behind the artists, are there a lot of songs that simply won't have an instrumental climax? I think this will be an interesting point to look at as we go through the 90's and rap becomes more and more popular.

While it may be hard to find an instrumental climax, maybe if we think about it in terms of one of brandt's earlier posts, that is, the part where in a concert the crowd would be going wild, maybe we can find something there
Also, maybe in songs that dont have an instrumental climax, it would be helpful to look at a printout of the lyrics to see if there is maybe a story that has a climax or something like that...what do you think?
