calling on you oh-so-knowledgeable org music experts :


I'm looking for a song title & the (female) artist who recorded this song in the early to mid 80s..

it's a mid-tempo "lite funk" number
with lyrics including :

"hey mr goodbar you know who you are"..

"you're my sugar-coated baby"..

"I've travelled many miles just to find somebody like you..
ain't no way I'm gonna give you up..
& I know you feel the same way too.."


THANKS in advance for your help


keep it FUNKY..

As much as I didn't dig this song, I kinda had a feelin' I knew who it was...
Alicia Myers - You Get The Best From Me (say,say,say).. this was around the time I joined a dj record pool, for a couple of months...soon after that I had a direct hook up with all of the major and independent labels.
It seemed like the pool director must have giving me a copy of this single every f'n week.



anyways here it 'tis.

Alicia Myers - You Get The Best From Me (say,say,say) 12"



Alicia Myers - You Get The Best From Me (say,say,say)

hey StarMon

THANKS for the help - I would have NEVER guessed the title (like that) myself !

it's a cute enough "funk pop" song, with a lot of the things you heard back in the early to mid 80s - synths "playing bass lines", drum machines, simple (if not sufficient) rhythm guitar "riffs"..


to me (& in a similar vein) are (better) songs like :

+ come let me love you - Jeannette Lady Day

+ heartbeat - Ta'ana Gardner

+ funky sensation - Gwen McCrae


of all these listed, I'd say that "come let me love you" is the best of this
"1-hit-wonder-diva-wanna-be" genre
(no intention to diss any of the above [or similar].. simply trying to "give a name" to the genre..


keep on funkin..
