I used to love this track by Aretha. Anyone else dig it? How is the album? any good? Along the same lines??

A well past her prime Aretha still knows how to deliver a tune without the psycho-gyrations most of the present day wannabe divas fall victim to.


The album also includes the hit Freeway of Love.

wasn't she kind of getting her new wave on with this album? i also saw that sisters are doing it for themselves is on it.

dancerella said:

Aretha is always gettin' her Aretha on regardless of the tune.
Definitely not a New Wave album.

aw that sucks that it's not new wave but i think she was trying to go for a "younger" sound at the time. how many god tracks are there on this?

Don't forget the cut with the Eurythmics

dancerella said:

good or god?

sosgemini said:

dancerella said:

Let's put it this way, I like about half the tracks.

theAudience said:

hmmm.....so it's good but not great?!

It's worth mentioning that the title should be "Who's Zoomin' WHOM?"

I just never get my due.

Whom said:

ha ha! that's cute. you know i get confused with when to use "whom" instead of "who". can someone clarify this?

theAudience said:

BUt the song sort of hinted of dance pop more than soul/R&B.

Who's Zoomin' Who? is becoming the new Jets' Crush On You around here.

Topics on this song keep popping up every few weeks

The best track on this album is "Another Night",a sizzling rock/pop song that took Aretha into Tina Turner territory.The other outstanding song is "Until You Say You Love Me",which should have been a single.

DavidEye said:

Cool. So do you recommend getting this cd? How many stars out of 5?

Mara said:

Really? i've never seen threads on this song before.

VinnyM27 said:

maybe that's a better decsription than new wave.

dancerella said:

The bouncy sound is a bit like something you would find on an early Madonna record.

VinnyM27 said:

When you say dance-pop, Britney and Madonna come to mind.

I'll agree that the track was poppier but just the fact that she still sang it like Aretha kept a sufficient soul component present.

dancerella said:

I'll give it three and a half stars.It's a good album.

theAudience said:

I agree and it's a great combination. Her vocals make it soul but the track is old school Madonna....couldn't imagine her singing it in the same arrangement at all.

The only thing I liked by her during this era was "Freeway Of Love". Like everyone else in 1985 and forward, her music was starting to go downhill. I liked her remake of "Jumpin' Jack Flash" about a year or two later. After that, I didn't care for any more of her music.

me love any song with sylvester on it.

Sylvester? Is he on that album anywhere?

vainandy said:

Yeah, he sings backup with (I forgot her name but she was on star search and sung back up for him previously) on who's zooming who and freeway of love.

Martha Wash? Izora Rhodes? But they were never on "Star Search" though.

vainandy said:

jeanie tracy, i just looked it up.

OK. On Sylvester's last album before he died, there was a Boni Boyer on there. Is that the same Boni that was with Prince?

vainandy said:

Yeah I'm like 99.9% sure that it probably is.
