Morning. #DonnaSummer's scat singing on this track is unintentionally hilarious. I was today years old when I found out that the album this comes from, I Remember Yesterdy, was intended to be a 'concept album', with the tracks moving through different decades. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNAY...

And oh, my bad. I must also cite another foundational BW singer in the same genre where #GwenMcCrae excelled: #MarlenaShaw. She combined Jazz+R&B+BlackPoets storytelling of the ‘70s into musical Gold. All these BW artists made #DonnaSummer’s Mass Market success possible 🙌🏾🎤🎶 youtu.be/p4FXusOn0TU?...

Not sure if this is true, but I’ve heard that the backing track was set higher than #DonnaSummer’s normal voice, in error, but she decided to sing it higher rather than change it, hence the wonderful ‘ethereal’ vocal.

Happy 35th to #DonnaSummer's #WhenLoveTakesOverYou. Released this week in 1989, as the 4th single from her #AnotherPlaceAndTime album. All these years later, I'm still bemused as to why it "flopped", entering & peaking at #72 on the UK charts. 🙃 youtu.be/oD5jEPUK8Sg
