Melissa Manchester – Energy (US 12″ Promo)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985

“Energy” is a song performed by American singer Melissa Manchester, from her 1985 album Mathematics.

The song was arranged by veteran songwriter Greg Mathieson and was released as the second single from the album, following the underperformance of the lead single “Mathematics”, MCA hoped to reverse the album’s fortune by releasing this Hi-NRG track with an aim for the club market.

Melissa Manchester filmed a video clip to promote the song, which sees the singer and her band in a sort of industrial-setting stage performing the song.

The single was released on 7″ and 12″ formats featuring remixes, but it failed to chart either on the Billboard Hot 100 or the dance charts and failed to chart elsewhere.

Charles & Eddie – Would I Lie To You? (US 12″ Promo)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1992

“Would I Lie to You?” is an R&B song by American duo Charles & Eddie. Written by Mike Leeson and Peter Vale and produced by Josh Deutsch, “Would I Lie to You?” was the debut single by the pop-soul duo, and it proved to be their biggest hit. A major international success, it reached number one on the UK Singles Chart for two weeks in November 1992 and was also number one in New Zealand, Germany, and Austria. It was a top five hit in several other European countries while in Australia and Canada it went to number 3. The single became a Top 20 hit in the US, peaking at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and it enjoyed award-winning sales, earning a platinum record in the UK, a gold record in both Germany and Austria and silver record award in France.

The songwriters, Leeson and Vale, received the 1992 Ivor Novello award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically.

Billboard wrote about the song: “Male duo is quickly picking up pop radio adds with this delightful twirl into a retro-R&B territory. Rich lead vocals are supported by Motown-styled harmonies, rumbling Hammond organ fills, and an insinuating, live drum beat.”
