Two templates in one

I was pleased to hear "You're Right As Rain" by The Stylistics on KDHX Wednesday afternoon.  The Stylistics had two recurring smooth templates for ballads; "You're Right As Rain" captures both of them.  Vocally and lyrically, it falls somewhere between "You Are Everything" and "Break Up To Make Up."

Considering its best-of-both-worlds qualities, I wonder why it wasn't a hit.
