Touch Me (All Night Long) - Who Did the Song Right? I'm partial to the original by Fonda Rae. I love the way it plucks along. I love Cathy Dennis' more straight on disco take on it, but the original is more fun for me!  | |

Both are hot. But Fonda's is somehow more urgent and sexy.
As a dance track, you can't fault Cathy's. | |

As much as I love dance, house, and disco...I'm sorry, but I never cared for either version. Andy is a four letter word. | |

She's so successful with her writing now, isn't she?
I can't believe that she got to write with Burt Bacharach. The man is a genius. | |

I can't believe that she got to write with Burt Bacharach. The man is a genius. Cathy Dennis is definitely turning out hits lately. I'm glad she's still around working like Linda Perry. | |

I like both versions as well.....2 slightly different feels to them. I am not African. Africa is in me, but I cannot return.

The original by far is the best! I will do today what you won't, so tomorrow I can do what you can't. | |
