BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1989
“You Blow Me Away” is a single by American actor, model, filmmaker and club music / Hi-NRG singer, Paul Lekakis. The single was released in 1989 prior to his debut LP “Tatoo It”. “You Blow Me Away” was produced and remixed by Shep Pettibone but failed to chart. I addition the song was co-written by the late Tommy Page.
I recommend playing this one loud the dub and bonus beats are fierce!

THANK YOU so much for this! I Love this song, and for some reason all the vinyl copies I have skip at the exact same place. SO NICE to have this classic curated by yourself. THANK YOU AGAIN!!!!!
I already heard about Paul Lekakis but this song is new to me. I like it. It has a catchy chorus and the Pettibone mixes are awesome. My favourite is the Dub mix. The production is really fine. It deserved to be a hit. Thank you Paul.
Many Thanx to you Paul..amazing collection of fantastic memories!! Big Hug from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I am loving this streak you are on. Thank you!
You’re welcome Conner 🙂
Another rarity here since this single was never released in a compact disc single. The Extended version can only be found on a Hong Kong compilation called Dance Trax Vol 1. Classic Pettibone Nrg mix here! Thanks Paul. Hope you are doing well.
You’re welcome Gilbert 🙂
Paul, you make me well up when I see your postings. This is a song that is exquisitely special to Karen and I. Sure, I like his “Boom, Boom, Boom” record, but this one really touched me in so many ways. He’s so beautiful too, we loved the cover art. Thanks for bringing this back into our consciousness. We are thoroughly grateful. And I can’t wait to check out the dub and beats.
Like the record says, Paul, “You Blow Me Away!”
Jeff and Karen
Thank you so much, Jeff and Karen. This track and his entire album “Tatoo It” bring back so many memories for me in 89/90. Why this record was not a huge dance hit is beyond me. Really great production here 🙂
