Donna Allen - Sweet Somebody

[tmjw69]

Shannon's version is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay betta! Never knew she coverd this.

[musiclover3928]

Shannon's original version of this song totally blows this one away!! good attempt though.

[OQUENDO1968]

@musiclover3928 I totally agree. I had never heard of Donna Allen until I ran into her on Shannon's Post. But this isn't too bad.

[loobycliff]

I just like the yellow trousers. Crikey you wouldn't want to say you've forgotten her birthday to this one :)

[MrChicago891]

Oh wow, I love the whole Shannon album that this is from, but I have to say I think Donna does a better job vocally.....wow, I never knew about this cover....thanks for the post! Did this hit the charts at all? Also, does Donna do any slow songs?

[loobycliff]

@MrChicago891 Try Perfect Timing - Donna in a beautiful slow mood.

[crad805oldschool]

@pannoni1

Where's Gwen Guthrie and Me'lissa Morgan or ur list?  Cherrelle?? Too many to name!

[719kai719]

@crad805oldschool :_) Exactly so many great female singers form the 70's &80's!

[maccagrabme]

@pannoni1 How about the following: Luther vandross, Randy Crawford, , Chaka Khan, Melisa Morgan, Alexander O'Neal, Teena Marie, Jocelyn Brown, Gwen Guthrie, Prince, Stephanie Mills, Patrice Rushen, Cheryl Lynn, to name but a few.

[sastal]

@maccagrabme Except for Prince and maybe Chaka, it is sad to see all these artists being neglected today. They are pure talent and they mean the world to me. Gwen, RIP.

[PopCulture20]

@pannoni1 excuse me, but you're going to list the top 80s Soul Singers, at least have the decency to not characterize Whitney for what she did in the future!!!!!

[shorttime1]

Loving it... She also did the damm thing, with Joy and Pain

[3811iberis]

This R&B track is another favorite of mine from her debut 1986 album (cd) "Perfect Timing", has a funky groove and bassline, with an excellent melody, and Donna's booming soulful vocals, outstanding 80's R&B from an outstanding 80's R&B singer!!

[Bryskens]

Lol at 0:42 - 0:43

Im not sure if it was like that originaly, but who knows, cause its the 80's!

[LLELUCO]

Yes the original is from Shannon! But  Donna is also very good!

[RomeTRocK]

how did you come about this album? I suggested it to a Dj in Los Angles resently And Told him I had this album and he def'nt, would not be Disappointed.

[Fstyl]

awesome! of course the original by Shannon is the best. thanks for posting great track!

[jgkakoo]

exe. thanks.

[crad805oldschool]

Cool...thanks for the comment!

[fairnorth]

Donna Allen performed this song on the very first NBC-TV "Showtime At The Apollo". I still have the VHS recording. The show opened up with "Serious". LL Cool J was the other guest artist. "SWEET SOMEBODY" was originally done by Shannon.

[2young2old]

i taped that performance too. i remember watchin it when i was a baby. God i love 80s music.

[crad805oldschool]

Awesome info.! That's the type of comments I like to see, thanks!

[CastlesandMansions]

What? Donna did the Apollo? Can you post that performance? I would love to see that one!! I'm also trying to see who taped D'Atra Hicks on the Apollo.

[CastlesandMansions]

Thanks for posting another Donna Allen JAM!! Her voice is phenomenal.

[FUNKYTUNEZ714]
