I think Jessica's reasoning was sound - the Delfonics are the most famous of the four groups mentioned. But IIRC "I Found Love on a Two-Way Street (and Lost it on a Lonely Highway) features a female lead vocalist, which the Delfonics did not. Knowing that isn't enough to remind me who sang it, so it's JTQ time.

A lot of things didn't go as well for this lady as she would've liked. Pessimism breeds bad luck, I guess?

That is not correct. The Moments had no female singer. They had a dude with a high voice. Several years later, they changed their name and had another big hit with "Special Lady" as Ray, Goodman and Brown.

I thought all four groups were pretty well known and don't really understand why they would be so biased toward the Delfonics. But it was certainly one of the worst audience Durstings ever.

Sure, blame the victim, Chad.

But no doubt, Jessica was pissed.
