Why Wasn't This Song A Gigantic Fucking Hit?

[luck]

Nominate your all-time jam that wuz robbed of chart-topping worthiness by limited distribution, insufficient funds, headz who didn't know, or poor timing. Or whatever.

Mine: Aaron Neville - Hercules
Close runner up: Dorando - Didn't I

The Younghearts- I Got Love For My Baby (Minit)





My oldschool industry homie said it was the middle eastern intro/outro that might have been a little too strange for the top 40 during that period, though i think it just makes it all the better. Shit knocks me over every time.








SOULTOWN productions

 

[DJelV2000]

Mine: Aaron Neville - Hercules

got hooked with the MP3, I need's me a copy of this...
45 only?

 

[DJelV2000]

my vote is "you make the sun shine" from

(wrong cover, this is the re-ish art...)

either that or "please don't give up on me" by Syl Johnson

45 only?




45 only. On Mercury. WLPromo and a FEW regular issues exist. There was a "pressing flaw" on the OG that reportedly led to a culling of the regular-issue stock. Goddamn shame.

 

[SoulOnIce]

There actually is a 12" from the early 80's(?) (UK?) also - otherwise, yes, 45 only and a tough as nails title to pull at that. If you want a vinyl copy to hold you over, the 2 LP Neville Brothers anthology "Treacherous" that you see everywhere for $5 has it on it. There's a best of Aaron Neville LP on Rhino that has it also.

 

[peacefulrotation]

Fortunately it made it onto that 80's greatest hits collection, on Rhino or something like that.

jinks!

Babyface "There She Goes"

There's something about her
You know, it's the way that she carries herself
She's just so bad
Ooh, I don't know

Her style, her mind
Compares to nothing on this Earth
She's not the kind to share
Only God knows what she's worth

I got to show her that I want her
I recognize that she is bad
If I can't have her then I'll go crazy
Spending all my time just chasing

I got to show her that I want her
I recognize that she is bad
If I can't have her then I'll go crazy
Spending all my time just chasing

Her eyes, her smile
Her skin, her smell, her hair
(She's incredible baby, ooh)
Her walk, her talk
Her way her shadow fell (?)
There she goes
(Oh baby)

I hope to find her there
Gotta make some eye contact
She's not the kind to stare
Move quick or lose her fast

I got to show her that I want her
I recognize that she is bad
If I can't have her then I'll go crazy
Spending all my time just chasing

I got to show her that I want her
I recognize that she is bad
If I can't have her then I'll go crazy
Spending all my time just chasing

Her eyes, her smile
Her skin, her smell, her hair
(Ooh baby, she's incredible baby, ooh)
Her walk, her talk
Her way her shadow fell (?)
There she goes
(There she goes)
Her eyes, her smile
Her skin, her smell, her hair
(You're incredible baby)
Her walk, her talk
Her way her shadow fell (?)
There she goes
(There she goes, come on)

Spending all my time watching that girl go
(Dance)
Gotta love her when she moves
(Get down girl)
Spending all my time watching that girl go
(Dance)
Gotta love her when she moves

Her eyes, her smile
Her skin, her smell, her hair
(She's incredible)
Her walk, her talk
Her way her shadow fell (?)
There she goes
(Ooh, there she goes baby)
Her eyes, her smile
Her skin, her smell, her hair
(Ooh baby, you're incredible baby)
Her walk, her talk
Her way her shadow fell (?)
There she goes
(There she goes, baby)
Her eyes, her smile
Her skin, her smell, her hair
(Ooh baby, she's incredible baby, ooh)
Her walk, her talk
Her way her shadow fell (?)
There she goes
(There she goes)
Her eyes, her smile
Her skin, her smell, her hair
(Oh)
Her walk, her talk
Her way her shadow fell (?)
There she goes
(There she goes)

I got to show her that I want her
I recognize that she is bad
If I can't have her then I'll go crazy
Spending all my time just chasing

Spending all my time watching that girl go
(Dance)
Gotta love her when she moves
(Get down girl)
Spending all my time watching that girl go
(Dance)
Gotta love her when she moves

I know you are not trying to hatt on this record.

Get the f**k out of here with that bullschitt.

Have you ever even actually heard the Babyface record?

 

[Phill_Most]

The Trinikas "Remember Me". I'll be damned if that schitt doesn't sound like it could've been a big hit during the time that it came out. Murderin' most of the Stax and Hot Wax / Invictus stuff from that era (and trust me, I rarely EVER say some relatively obscure 45 is kickin' the ass of the more established bands / singers from BITD).

It was a B-side.
