Some album tracks can be massively famous even if the were never released as a single. Cast No Shadow being an obvious example.

The game would become quite shallow if we omitted what might be considered ‘obscure’ by differing opinions. As much as identifying tracks is fun, a large part of the idea of this quiz is to broaden horizons, and introduce music to other members that might not have heard it before. We are not going to be doing anything that might negate that benefit.
‘Greatest Hits’ is not to be taken literally. Hence there being no stipulation in the rules of what constitutes a great hit.
All tracks are welcome. Nothing is out of bounds. And if you don’t like the game, don’t play the game.
Thank you

Just so we’re clear, this is not an invitation to deliberately seek out tracks simply because they are obscure.
They should be tracks you already know, and hopefully love. It’s about sharing your passion for music, more than anything.
In this quiz Googling is absolutely forbidden, which goes without saying. But that also applies to selecting your tracks, in equal measure.
I hope you understand what I’m saying, and I’m not trying to cause any disagreement. Let’s carry on with that clarified

Funnily enough, when I googled this song (to find out what it was), their discography claims this was indeed released as a non-charting single. Though it's somewhat confusing as it's not listed in their 'singles' list but rather in their 'other charted singles' list, though it doesn't stipulate what is 'different' about their 'other released singles' list.

1. Missy Elliot? Kind of feels like a sort of title to a song she would have?

I’m sure Mr Big Stuff is a 70s era song but I dunno by whom.

it is. the most recent on the list. the artist has also had one of the biggest, if somewhat controversial, hits of this year.
clue for 2. this was a much bigger hit across the pond the in the singer's native united kingdom. the singer in question is named after a legendary jazz singer.
