Me too. The 45 is b/w the instrumental.

This is one of those oddly enjoyable records whose instrumental is as equally enjoyable. Black music in the early 80s did some very innovative things.

the early 80s was such a fun time for music.The R&B and funk from that era was amazing.Hip-hop had not taken over yet.

Oh on the LEFT! Shit, there's more where that came from. Catch me next week on a very special A&E's Hoarders

Great song. But what a bytch she was to jump into the future and steal Prince's Camille effect then travel backwrd to 1982 and have a hit funk song with it.

Me too. I know which 12 Inch version you are referring to. I had never heard it until years later when I bought a compilation CD that had it on it. But I do remember the radio used to play a longer version that sounded like the 45.

The instrumental version of "Planet Rock" is actually more popular than the vocal version.

I used to think it was The Chipmunks singing on this and Jam On It too.

I remember the local R&B station would play the instrumental version of Talking In Your Sleep by The Romantics. I didn't know until years later that there was verses in the song, just the vocoder voice singing the chorus. They also played the instrumental of Head by Prince. Another popular instrumental was D-Train's You're The One For Me.

Sometimes,the single edit is superior.A great example is "In The Bush" by Musique.The album version is 8 minutes long,but it's very repetitive.The single version is short,sweet and to the point the music sounds faster,too.

I didn't know there were two women singing. I've never seen who Cheri was before, I just heard the song a lot. I have the maxi single, but there's no picture on it. There were a lot of songs I heard that I've never seen the act, and don't know what they look like.

Cheri made two albums. They had some serious jams.

They came back in 1983 with an excellent single called "Working Girl".Unfortunately,radio rejected the song because of its controversial subject matter (prostitution) but I like it alot...

How is that? Bad Girls (Donna Summer), Roxanne (The Police), and Olivia (The Whispers) were about streetwalkers. For The Love Of Money from The O'Jays also mentions it. They were all played on the radio and were popular.

Yeah,but for some reason,the Cheri song wasn't played very often.I heard it on our local R&B station three or four times,then it vanished.Such a shame because it's a cool song.
