I think she butchered this song even though I like a lot things that she does. She should have never gone there with a Foreigner classic. I remember seeing her perform this on Soul Train then, not knowing it was a cover and strongly disliking it. This is the 2nd song that she did for that ST episode, the 1st one was "Do You Wanna Get Away". Also from that same album, I also love to this day "Stronger Together".
I turn up the radio when i rarely hear her version or Foreigner's. Personally, i enjoy her 12inch more. For me, her version is a little more soulful and has that 80's beat and tempo. That was the sound!
This cover has a tasteful, classy photo and design. Well done, art design team! It matches Shannon's style and taste. She is an excellent performer who has a beautiful voice.
Never liked her version and this the 1st version that I heard. Did not realise it was a remake until I read this in one of Joel Whitburn's books. She performed this on Soul Train after "Do You Wanna Get Away" during the 2nd segment.I like much of what Shannon does but not this. She messed up a good song and I just thought I'd peep this again to see if my feelings have changed and it has not. Thank you for posting.
Man, I can never get bored with this song. This song kicks butt!! I love the whole song. But from 4:00 to about 4:35...is awesome!!! Thank you so much for sharing this songwith us.
This must be the LP / Single version, and it's kind of lackluster, but if you have ever heard the 12" version it is AWESOME! Much more energy and powerful.
Is your 12" single on the Mirage label, U.S. pressing? May be that the promo is different than the commercial pressing, if that's the case... or perhaps there were remixes done after the initial 12" LP version was released.
Never realized she covered this song by Foriegner! Just discovered this on my newly purchased vinyl album of hers!

I never knew that someone else did this song. Shannon makes it her own. The Jacksons' ''Torture" sounds like it.

I agree, but I find prog rock boring no matter who's singing it.

...Shannon did NOT butcher this song; her version is at least as good as Foreigner's version, & I'm a "Foreigner" fan...!

This was uploaded back when YouTube was good and you could hear a song in stereo if it was uploaded in flash like this one.

I have this 12" single, it's the same version as on the LP. You must be talking about the Dub Version, which is great.
