This is an Under the Covers classic chosen by me ties to this weekend's 11/27/1982 AT40: The 80's show: At #2 is Laura Brannigan with "Gloria", an English remake of a 1977 Italian song originally done by Umberto Tozzi. This is what the original Italian version is like: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NK3f9-Y8m4And, as a bonus, Umberto also did a Spanish language version of "Gloria", which is like this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Hsf0vvGZDE |

The November 29, 1986 chart featured Robert Palmer at #23 with "I Didn't Mean to Turn You On". In 2016, Cherrelle's original recording of the Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis song was posted in the Lost 80s Classic thread (by 1finemrg I might add). It reached #79 on the Hot 100 and #8 on the R&B chart in 1984. |
