Headed To The Mall Week.

REQUEST

Originally posted December 27, 2012

“Foolish Beat” is the fourth single, and the first ballad release, from American singer-songwriter-actress Debbie Gibson. Originally recorded in the winter of 1987 for the Dream Tour, months prior to its inclusion on her album Out of the Blue, this made Gibson the youngest person to write, produce and sing a number-one single entirely on her own when “Foolish Beat” hit the top of the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in the summer of 1988.

In the United Kingdom, the single reached a peak position of number nine on the UK Singles Chart. The single was released in Japan as the B-side to “Out of the Blue” on Atlantic Records Japan.

In 2010, Gibson re-recorded the song as an extra track for the Deluxe Edition release of the Japan-exclusive album Ms. Vocalist.

Debbie Gibson – Shake Your Love (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1987

Headed To The Mall Week.

REQUEST

“Shake Your Love” is the second single by American singer-songwriter-actress Deborah Gibson. Originally recorded in the spring of 1987, the song is written by Gibson herself and produced by Fred Zarr. It was released in September 1987 and reached #4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in December that year. It was her breakthrough single in the U.K., reaching #7 in early 1988. The 12″ single reached #1 on the U.S. Maxi-Singles sales chart.

**Although Side A lists the “Vocal/Club Mix” and “Bonus Beats” as two seperate tracks it is actually one twelve minute version without any gap between songs. I have left it this way to keep the integrity of the original vinyl release.
