Solid - Loving You, the dub version on this one is great
http://www.discogs.com/release/83298
also, who does 'automatic lover,' the one with the lyrics that go 'push my buttons and watch me work, watch me work on you' - I thought it was on micmac but I'm not near my records and I can't find it on discogs... that's a good one too
Raoul the king of freestyle! 
+1 for connie's rock me
her whole album is pretty good, with two other standout gems on it. the sunnyview release is somewhat common so you should be able to find it through digging.
brenda k. starr is another one to mention, though her best song (possibly) was vicious beat as seen in the movie beat street , unfortunately i havent been able to find it released anywhere, and what i have found from her isnt as good as vicious beat.

yes?
wouldn't call myself king of freestyle. i love some though.
some of my favorites:
c-bank - get wet
xena - on the upside
shannon - give me tonight
and watch those latin rascal edit-t-t-t-t-t-s, like la flavour - mandolay, more beats than anyone can take
What about "Rockers Revenge - Walking on Sunshine" ?
I would call it freestyle but nobody mentioned it...great track.
Tina B - Honey to a Bee http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=IkIwhc21n … re=related
Expos
Latin Freestyle was very popular here in Rio back in the day. Two guys made huge success around here and toured many times: Stevie B and Tony Garcia.
Here's Tony Garcia, with Reinald-O on vocals, performing at a suburban "baile funk":

Spring Love, by Stevie B, was a massive hit here:

Oh. I Just remembered a great one! Linear. Do you remember Sending All My Love? Awesome track!

We had our own version of freestyle. It was called Charm.
So, back in the day we had the Funk and the Charm. Funk was rough, dirty. Gang fights were very common. And then the Charm was the opposite. People put on their best clothes, lots of Soul Glo on the hair and danced choreographed dance steps.
no one mentioned johnny o - fantasy girl?
as freestyle as it gets http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=tZuXEnQza … re=related
alfonso 'time bomb' is one I've always liked.
(Alfonso is Carlton from Fresh Prince of Bel Air!!!)
and
Kym 'give me the dance' is an absolute banger
freestyle to me :
angela - all hung up
d'zyre - forever amour
pretty poison - night time ( ultra, mega, fat, dikke, super de luxe bass line )
what do boyz know about love? - forgot the artist
freestyle ( on my turntable right now )
masterplan - electric baile
doesn't masterplan go under the category Chicago house? though i deffently hear the freestyle sound in it.
anyway it's a really nice track
Another one that made huge success here in Rio:
Lil Suzy - Take Me In Your Arms
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLNfYtcKMaw
Just heard this one in the 80's white-pimp exploitation film STREETWALKIN': John Rocca - I Want It To Be Real (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r7xAus_Zno)...Freestyle meets Bronski Beat? I also love Shannon's "My Heart's Divided" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZRQ7w2ouFI).
I still hear Pretty Poison, Rockell, and Lil Suzy on the radio a lot. In fact there was a special program here called "12 Noon Workout" that played an hour-long mix of freestyle occasionally interrupted with tips from a "fitness expert".
i would recommend
911 - twenty four seven
very powerful production, unfortunately trashy recording,
but definitely worth a listen.
some friends hate it 'cause it's a bit cheesy,
but sometimes cheese is delicious
