Carolyn Crawford sizzles with fire on this version we remade with her of her classic that she sang with Bohannon, "Lets Start The Dance". For years now, people have enjoyed the video we filmed in 1989 of "Timeless", one of my personal favourites of all the Motorcity recordings, and a song that meant everything to me, and into which I poured my heart and soul writing it. Carolyn was only thirteen years old when she signed to Motown, releasing three wonderful singles, "My Smile Is Just A Frown Turned Upside Down", "Forget About Me", and "When Someone's Good To You", all written and produced by Smokey Robionson. But some of the unreleased tracks were amazing, like "Until You Came Along", and "Keep Stepping And Never Look Back". Then her three Philadelphia International releases are worth a fortune, and I still adore "Just Got To Be More Careful", and "When You Move You Lose". Following her time with Gamble and Huff, she joined Hodges James Smith and Crawford, before signing to Mercury, and then she became the voice on Bohannon's "Lets Start The Dance", one of the all time disco anthems. Because she was so young at Motown, therefore she was the youngest of all the Motorcity artists, being 39 when she first recorded "Timeless" and "Which Way Do I Turn". She was feisty and had a flaming temper, but I adored her, and still do. I still treasure her entire "Heartches" album that we released in 1990.

  • this is hamilton bohannon!

  • No it isn't. It's Carolyn Crawford performing the song in 1990 that she originally recorded with Hamilton Bohannon back in 1976. Carolyn was Bohannon's lead singer on the original version of this.
