Climie Fisher – This Is Me (UK 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1986

Upon the song’s original release in 1986, the single failed to chart. “This Is Me” was re-released in 1988 after the duo had found major success with the single’s “Love Changes Everything” and “Rise To The Occasion”. The re-release peaked at #22 the UK, #34 Netherlands, #60 Germany, #15 New Zealand and #10 Portugal. “This Is Me” also features backing vocals by English singer/songwriter Kirsty MacColl.
