Jermaine Stewart – Jody (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1986

“Jody” is a song by American singer Jermaine Stewart, released in 1986 as the third single from his album Frantic Romantic. It was written by Stewart, Narada Michael Walden, and Jeffrey Cohen, and produced by Walden.

In America, the single became Stewart’s most successful single on the dance charts, peaking at #9, and became his third single to enter the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #42. In Canada, the single made a brief appearance on the chart, peaking at #81.

“Jody” was inspired by Jody Watley of American music group Shalamar, for which Stewart had been a backing vocalist and dancer in the early 1980s.

Watley went on to co-write two singles on Stewart’s 1988 follow-up album, Say It Again: “Don’t Talk Dirty to Me” and “Is It Really Love?,” both of them with her husband of the time André Cymone, who co-produced and performed on the album.

The B-side for the single, “Dance Floor”, was also taken from the album Frantic Romantic. It was written by Stewart and Roy Carter.

Culture Club – Move Away (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1986

NEW 2019 Transfer!
Meticulously Remastered!

Originally posted January 16, 2012

“Move Away” is a 1986 song by the British band Culture Club. Taken as the lead single from their fourth album, From Luxury to Heartache, the song became the group’s eighth top-ten hit on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number seven. It reached number twelve on the Billboard Hot 100, the song was popular on US radio and the music video received healthy airplay on MTV during the spring of 1986 and was also their last single to reach the Top 40 in the US. It also reached the top ten in various other countries including Canada (#4), Italy (#10) and Australia (#10).

The song was produced by Lew Hahn and Arif Mardin (the latter a producer for Chaka Khan and Aretha Franklin in the 80s). “Move Away” was the only single from the album to reach the top-ten in the UK and would be the band’s last UK top 10 hit until 1998’s “I Just Wanna Be Loved”.

The video-clip for the song, which cast Boy George and Jon Moss as silent film-stars racing cars across a black/white movie screen, was filmed at the Brixton Academy, London. George’s friend Alice Temple can also be seen in the video.

The song was featured in the background of a 1986 episode of the US daytime soap opera General Hospital. In 1986, Boy George sang the song in a guest-starring role in an episode of the television series The A-Team entitled “Cowboy George”.
