"I Like You" is a song by Philadelphia-born singer Phyllis Nelson. The single was number one on the Dance chart for one week in 1985.[1] "I Like You" also crossed over to the Soul chart where it peaked at No. 65. On the Billboard Hot 100, it reached No. 61.[2] The single was her sole entry into both the pop and soul charts, and the last of two chart entries on the dance chart for her.
