Here
Certified unsound
I feel, like you
There's someone else I've found
so far
He's true

Out of me
There's a voice which keeps calling
Hiding alone
Crazy I Know
And I am tied to your strings and twisted
I'm just waiting to show
All the others who know
that I am tied to your strings
And twisted


Hold me in
this tiny room
sedated here
I stay
next to me
I think of you
dont throw the key away!

Thats a banger music

But if I'm not mistaken, 'Tearin' It Up' was the clubs' main attraction @ that time.

my favorite song on the album
"crazy I knooooo oooooh..."
"be who you are and say what you feel
because those who mind don't matter
and those who matter don't mind."

You`re lucky if you find this cd for under $100....

I haven`t heard this album yet, but i`m very curious.

I would kill to hear "Be-bop medley" smile

Be Bop Medley is the SONG. Chaka won a Grammy for it in '83. You should be able to download the song from Limewire.


IMO, the "Chaka Khan" CD is her best solo album. She does a FIERY version of the Jacksons' GOT TO BE THERE and she does a hot duet with Rick James titled SLOW DANCIN. And of course, the eerily haunting "TWISTED."

I've seen a pic of both of the sitting bare feeted in the studio during the recording of "Slow Dancing".

They looked like they were riding cloud9

amazingly,the duet with Rick James "Slow Dancin" was never released as a single.Chaka's label (Warner Bros.) wanted to release it but Rick's label (Motown) wouldn't approve it.In the end,it didn't matter...R&B radio stations played it anyway.

I grabbed this cd import back in the early nineties, when it came out in Japan, but then they deleted after about 6 months! I don't know why they do that, but it was the same with most of their R&B stuff (the 'Raydio' albums, the Brothers Johsnon "Winners" album, etc...)Japan would always release this stuff on CD for a limited time, then let it go out of print later that same year. What's the point? Bythe time a lot of people realize it's out, then it's gone!! I guess the bigger question is, why can't alot of this get released in the US in the first place?


Btw, "Twisted", "Be-Bop Medley", and "Slow Dancin" are THE cuts!!!!

Becoz they want to "test the water".

Japan holds the BIGGEST market of music consumers.

For some reason, I couldn't get into Be-Bop medly.

I guess she wanted to repeat herself right after a "Night In Tunisia". But unlike the former, this production is BUSY as hell.

It couldn't go wrong with Betty Carter though, she openly praised this collaboration.

So, do they look at how it moves, then let it go out of print if it doesn't sell a certain amount?

Exactly,,,but in some case, some artists want some of their albums pulled out of the market, and it happens.

Can't really give you an example right now coz I can't think of none lol but I heard about it plenty of times.

I'm not trying to be funny, but I see this CD all the time here in Houston. I see in a lot of used record stores going for little to nothing.

That being the case, i'm gonna be watching for the early George Duke BASF releases like a hawk!

The don't get released in the U.S. because the record companies don't see enough $$$ in it for them. confused
