Patti LaBelle – Oh, People (The JM Remix) (UK 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1986

“Oh, People” is the second single from Winner in You, the eighth solo album from Patti LaBelle, released on June 30, 1986. The song is a socially conscious anthem with lyrics pleading to individuals to unite and “build the world we want together.”

The song was a moderate success, reaching number 29 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and number 7 on the Billboard R&B chart while also reaching number 26 in the United Kingdom. It also reached several European charts peaking at number 31 in the Netherlands (AKA the Dutch singles chart) and number 36 in New Zealand.

In the UK two seperate 12″ singles were released both with different A side remixes. The first a remix by Richard Perry (Extended Remix Version) and the second included a remix by Julian Mendelsohn (The JM MIx). For this post I have included the Richard Perry mix as a bonus.
