Should I Love You (Dub Version) – Burning The Ground: DjPaulT's 80's and 90's Remixes

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1983

“Should I Love You” is a song by the German singer Cee Farrow, released in 1983 as the lead single from his debut album Red and Blue. It was written by Farrow and Lothar Krell, and produced by Andy Lunn. Released in North America only, the single reached No. 82 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remained in the charts for six weeks.

Having signed with Rocshire Records, Farrow recorded his debut album, Red and Blue, between March and December 1982 at Hotline Studios. Released in 1983, “Should I Love You” was issued as the first single from the album. It became a minor hit in October 1983 when it peaked at No. 82 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also reached No. 91 on the Billboard Hot Black Singles Chart.

Shortly after the single and album’s release, Rocshire began suffering legal issues when it was discovered that Rocshire had been financed by millions of dollars that Rocky Davis’ wife, Shirley Davis, had embezzled from Hughes Aircraft while working as an accountant there. U.S. Federal Marshalls seized all of the label’s assets, including master tapes, in January 1984. Farrow stepped away from the music business, but later made an attempt at a comeback with the 1991 single “Imagination”. He died in 1993 in West Hollywood, California of a brain disease attributed to AIDS.
