Barbara Doust is a fave of mine... IF YOU LOVE SOMEBODY is a HINRG classic - I was going through my record collection over the weekend and found a very rare 12" promo that she did called DANCE IN NEON LIGHT - It was a limited edition promo on Loading Bay records - I am not sure if it got a proper release.
Its a great track - she is a fantastic vocalist - I believe she also worked with the group TAPPS....

There was a US 12" for "Dance In Neon Light" with Tom Moulton and Vince DeGiorgio mixes that I think was a full commercial release but was on a very small label called Spinner Records that didn't get very wide distribution at the time it seemed. I'm not sure if the label even had any other releases actually, I don't think I saw any others. "Dance In Neon Light" did pretty well on the old DMA Hi-NRG chart as well.

This release was fantastic...one of the very best 12" singles in my collection....called the Tom Moulton Pure Ecstacy Mix. He took the original wonderful mix and created an 11:37 hi-nrg masterpiece. I highly recommend it!

In 1994, Spinner Records, out of Boulder Colorado (of all places!) did release a few other tunes...most notably another Tom Moulton mix, this time of The Power Of Love by Panorama...another ten minute plus winner.

They put out a compilation cd called Neon City Nights with both mixes on it plus some other nice hi-nrg tunes.

Cool, I haven't heard this one, is it a cover of the Jennifer Rush/Celine Dion song?

Yes...a very nice dance cover!

She also did a cover of Cher - I found someone. Was promoed on Logic, but not sure if it got a release.

Yes, it was released in the US. Don't recall it being that big of a hit.

I have never heard her version of the Cher track. Barbara Dosut is a graet vocalist and its a pity she did not release more material

I think it was a cover of the Jennifer Rush song, and I have it somewhere. To be 100% sure I have to dig it out. Do you have any specific questions regarding this record or do just want to know which song was covered? It may take time till If find this record (provided that I still have it).

Hey Energyguy, Yes, the Barbara Doust releases "If You Love Somebody" and "Dance In Neon Light" are FAB. I didn't buy "I Found Someone." Strangely this track didn't grab my interest.

The Spinner single which was discussed earlier in this thread featured Vince's Glorious Glitzy Radio Mix, Best Boy-Key Grip Mix, Vince's Advanced Technology Remix, Tom Moulton's Pure Ecstasy Edit and Tom Moulton's Ecstasy Radio Edit.

IF YOU LOVE SOMEBODY is one of my al time favourite HINRG tracks - I like the remix by Ian Levine.

Yes, it did get a proper release on Loading Bay, and it was the last 12" release on the Label.

Does anybody know if there were various mixes of "Take Me As I Am" and if she ever released an album, perhaps on the Canadian POWER label?
