Almost like a double banger! Another dance classic from my childhood! Except I wouldn’t have danced to it in a club. I was only 14. My sister being older would have been able to hear it on the dance floor. 🙂 Until now I hadn’t even heard of this Nicole. Does not ring a bell at all. Does she have a surname? But I do know this 12 inch mix. I didn’t know of the dub and I quite like it. What’s funny is you compare the two and the are almost worlds apart. The club mix is shorter and… Read more »
Have been looking for the Club Mix and Dub of this for ages! Thank you so much for this post…
Unfamiliar with this toe-tapper. Thanks for posting.
Thanks I did not have the Dub mix yet as it is vinyl only I think!
Huge Success in France, what a tune!
What a great club banger! Haven’t heard it in years and completely forgot what a fantastic track this is. I even have several CD compilations with it, but not the dub mix.
Thanks. It’s always nice to hear Nicole again.
You’re welcome 80spornstar 🙂
Nice post Paul. Brings back tons of memories. At around the same time, “Zapped by love” by Debbie Sharp was also a huge club rotation which reminds me of Stevie Wonder’s Part Time Lover. Those were my clubbing days which was long gone.
Thanks for posting this great song.
You’re welcome steveasian 🙂
Truly one of those songs I have not heard since the year it was out.
Thank you!
The video is amusing –> https://youtu.be/0rlD5Nla0EE — #BigBlack80s
Her voice is fantastic.
You’re welcome, Richard. Fun video 🙂
I am a big fan of Lou Pace as a producer. He also produced the 1994 single “Running Away” by Nicole.
I’m not aware of this single but can’t wait to hear it later.
Cheers Paul 🙂
Cheers Mark 🙂
Dynamite Paul! What’s left to say, except major thanks Paul for an incredible single ripped to perfection!
Jeff
You’re welcome Jeff 🙂
Fantastic record 🙂
I especially love the second half.. great solo, great drums, great everything !!
Thank you so much for this Paul 🙂
You’re welcome Jay 🙂
Wow Paul! I love this song. As you mentioned it was a hit here in Europe. I was looking for a proper rip of these remixes. As far as I know they aren´t available digitally. Once again you are here to gift us with this golden rip. What a great week of love this is. Thank you so much Paul.
I love this song too Daniel 🙂
