"You Can Do It" (1980) by Linda Clifford (she also sings "Runaway Love")

How could anybody not

^^

Is this the original version of this song? I was only familiar with The Weather Girls' version from 1985. Their's sounds like something I'd heard before too. But I can't quite put my finger on it.

Yeah I hear a Lil'something of "Love to love you baby" but I also hear a bit of Blondie's "Rapture"...

yeah,this song basically steals the bassline from "Love To Love You Baby".

i think the funniest story about Linda Clifford came years and years later. She was the original version of the Whitney hit "All the man i need" and that had Luther as Linda's background vocalist and he arranged it for her too. YEARS later Luther releases SONGS and covers the song changes the title to All the Woman i need, but in the credits he thanks WHITNEY for doing the original version? forgetting Linda and not just that, that he was her vocal arranger and background vocalist.

"Runaway Love" is one of disco's most underrrated tunes.It should have been as big as Gloria Gaynor's overplayed "I Will Survive".

Sister Sledge (with David Simmons) sang it before Whitney too.

Yeah the hilarious thing was Luther mis-crediting her as the original, but not only that, he was on the original and arranged it lol
