Unsung Boogie Queen


Disclaimer: This boogie off entry is going up on behalf of the busy new father in the TI2TB family, Bez. Well, I'm not taking the blame for his smut.

Wow, I cannot get enough of this tune, I am wet just thinking about it, quality quality quality, boogie as it should be: fat, soulful vocals and with a little bit for you electro boogie monsters out there. Donna is an unsung boogie queen, better known for 'it ain't no big thing' and the big TI2TB fave 'Mr Blind Man'. She pulls out all the stops in this mega rare 12". Try and find it at your peril, its going for silly money at the moment. I had to get it from a Ebay dealer in the states. Better go and wipe myself down before I listen to it again!

oh no, just listening to this at work and am finding it hard to control my urges, specifically during the synthtastic breakdown.

nice one for posting this for me Mr Slipper, am looking forward to hearing the contenders in this right royal boogie off, ROUND 1.

Oh jesus...what can I say? this is emotional. HEAVY,HEAVY Soulful boogie entry from the bezmond. I need to hear this on a proper sound and yet I'm still getting the shiver even on dodgy mac speakers...
Maybe could've done without the guitar solo but who cares? Donna can do what she likes...
9 out of 10 to miss mcghee

Got to say this is a corker from the ex Fatback Band singer. The best vocal performance of all the contenders this week.

Have to mark down for that guitar solo though (or is it a keytar?). Just too long and slightly out of place. But bonus half point for being the only tune entered that I had not heard previously. Top digging.

8 and half out of 10 from the Canadian representative.
