Jody Watley – What’cha Gonna Do For Me (UK 12″ Promo)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1989

Originally posted July 7, 2010

“What’cha Gonna Do For Me” would have been the fifth single taken from the LP “Larger Than Life”, unfortunately the song only made it to the promo stage. Written and produced by André Cymone with remix by Louil Silas Jr. and additional production by Jeff Lorber. “The song also appeared in an edited remix version on the Jody Watley remix album “You Wanna Dance With Me?”. This 12″ promo contains the full un-edited remix and has never apeared on CD.

The b-side is mispressed and plays the “Bassapella” twice. I have left it that way to to keep the integrity of the original vinyl release.

SIDE A:
What’cha Gonna Do For Me (Extended Version) 8:07

SIDE B:
What’cha Gonna Do For Me (Bassapella) 5:39
What’cha Gonna Do For Me 5:39
