  • Cool...thanks for the comment!

  • 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.

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

  • 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!!

see all

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

  • @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.

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

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

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

  • 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?
