Also, don't forget the club classic, It Shoulda Been You.

A great artist had had huge success commercially here in the UK. I also love the tracks "PADLOCK" & "SEVENTH HEAVEN"

[buckaroo]

Don't forget 'Joyriders' and 'Thrill Me'. :D

And Hopscotch.

My first Gwen Guthrie 12" single was Peanut Butter. And it's still my favorite.

GWEN was far from a one hot wonder.

Her first album is still a great classic.

Her version of her own GOD DON'T LIKE UGLY [originally cpvered by ROBERTA FLACK in 1979] is fabulous.

Her work with SLY & ROBBIE was an extension of their work with GRACE JONES.The PADLOCK EP is simply the best laid-back dance music around.

When she moved to WB ; she released a great safe sex anthem called CAN'T LOVE YOU TONIGHT.

one hit wonder???? oh boy! the horror of such SACRILEGE talk !

Younger Than Me
Padlock
Peanut Butter
Hopscotch

Peek-A-Boo
It Should Have Been You

Gwen Guthrie - Gwen Guthrie - The Ultimate Soul And Funk Music Records Database

both of these are essential, phenomenal albums. these are Gwen's
Off The Wall and Thriller albums - released years before "RENT".

RIP Girlfriend

If Larry Levan heard anyone call Gwen a one hit wonder.."She was one of his main muses"...
he would have FAINTED~!!
He remixed all these songs and made them Garage classics..
Ain't Nothin' Goin' On But The Rent
(They Long To Be) Close to you
PadLock
GOOD TO GO LOVER/OUTSIDE IN RAIN
HOPCOTCH
Peanut Butter
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN YOU ..was one of the last songs Larry mixed b4 he passed..
so I would have to say to the unknowledgeable general public they would assume so ..BUT to the underground dance music lover and Disco enthusiast..No..
Peanut Butter and Close to you.. being my favorites

padlock, Padlock, PADLOCK!!! On of the greatest down-tempo grooves EVA! Sung and mixed to perfection.
You could pratically have sex on the dancefloor to this one.
(Wait... I think I did... <sigh> I miss after-hours parties.)

Good morning, my dear DAYNA! I'm off to work. xoxo

Hi Miss D

You know I'd hate to dispute your words...but I remember the Levan remix of Shoulda been you from around 1982 on U.S 12" import to UK, and an edit of it also appeared on the B side of a UK 12" of his mix of 7th Heaven and Getting hot around 83/4, Larry died in 1992.

Thank you for correcting my mistake sweetie..
You are absolutly correct..I think I was so flustered at the thought of Gwen being called a one trick pony that I lost my mind for a hot minute.. hehe
