Incredible, she takes a song more remembered as a Donny and Marie trifle and makes it a tour de force of jazz, soul and standup humor. I never get tired of hearing this. She's an amazing talent.
You guys sound real fun nice people reading your comments. This track is AWESOME, it's wicked, and am I so proud i've owned this particular rendition many many years now. Over the years i've introduced it to so many friends. Class post THANK YOU.
@CHEWDwivTHEinCrowd, Nice of you to leave such a Positive comment.Also great work keeping classy gems of this caliber alive,Keep On spreading the word my Friend!!
This may sound silly, but I used to sneak in my mom's music and listen to this album when I was a kid. I used to pretend like I was sitting in the audience enjoying the show! LOL!!!
First of all, I absolutely LOVE Marlena Shaw!! This rendition is the ULTIMATE version of this song. I had the pleasure of seeing Ms. Shaw live in concert a few years ago and she was AWESOME! Just as sassy and soulful as ever! This brings back so many memories for me. Thanks for posting this version!
@SEFYH,Doesn't sound silly to me,I have to confess I used to sit in my darked bedroom with George Benson's Greatest Love Of All,pretending I was him performing in concert,now that's silly!
Lucky you, I've seen many of the greats but I still haven't been fortunate enough to witness Marlena Shaw...Cheers!
@SuperXavier30 - Thanks for making me feel better about my little confession! LOL
Actually, my friend took me as a surprise. I had know Idea who I was going to see, then all of the sudden the music starts and out comes the diva herself! I was almost in tears, I was so excited! If you ever get a chance to see one of her shows, please do. Not only is she a great vocalist, but she is funny as hell. Marlena puts on quite a show.
@SEFYH I used to try n get my big black lips to say WHENURNEARMEWHENURNEARMEWHENURMEWHENURMEWHENURNEARME........ and 32 years later??... still can't.
@ShangoJamal - U are sooooo crazy! LOL!!!!! You've got me over here crackin up!! I used to try to do that too and like you I STILL can't master it either!
My God, the brilliance!

'77 classic? Think another 11 years before. The original 7inch was released back in 1966.
