[Mixmachine]

You and I was also a great cut and BEAUTIFUL!!!

The slow ballad "You and I" was very popular in local clubs and was used by Djs for years after it's original release.

[Leal]

I tried to transcribe the lyrics to " You and I " " Rough Diamond" and
"You can", but there are complete lines I can't understand what she says
Could anyone help me to those lyrics please ?

Thanks for your help.

MADLEEN KANE's 12inches & more is an essential compilation. Not complete but her best known songs are very well represented.

Amazon-U.S. | Amazon-U.K.

Her GIORGIO MORODER produced album DON'T WANNA LOSE YOU from 1982 is still among my favorites from the disco era.SOUNDS OF LOVE is also very solid as an album.CHERCHEZ PAS and YOU CAN are my 2 all-time favorites from her.

When she turned to IAN ANTHONY STEVENS [and PAUL PARKER as songwriter] ; she also scored many hits on the HiNRG charts.

She should be ready for a comeback...

I totally agree with all your comments. "12 Inches and More" is defo a "must have." My favourites by her are "Playing for Time" (the long version, 11 minutes or longer if I recall correctly), "Fire In My Heart," "On Fire," "You Can" and last but not least "I'm No Angel." :icon_smile:

Is this a personal wish or are there rumours that she's in the studio again??? We don't know much about miss Kane do we? The mentioned best of is indeed a must have but I always advice people to go looking for the vinyls where the full versions can be found!

Just a wish...
She sure has been laying low.

That's 'cos she died years ago dear, so you're gonna have to wait a long time for that 'comeback'!:icon_cry:

[Videoskooter]

That's 'cos she died years ago dear

San, where do you get that info? I think she's still amongst us, you know. Where? I don't know!

Aren't you confusing with Madeline Kahn, the actress, who passed away in 1999?????

[SandraDee]

No, Madleen Kane died in the late 80s I believe. I feel sure I read it on this site that she o.d.'d on heroin. I remember thinking how tragic.

[markydefad]

Sandee...I recall that Miss Kane had died being mentioned here--but wasn't it proved to be untrue??? :icon_question::icon_question::icon_question:

[Videoskooter]

Just did a big search on the net about that and there isn't one (1) site mentioning her death, no Wikipedia, no Disco site, none, so I think La Kane is still doing her classy act, somehow, somewhere.

[SandraDee]

Well that's good to hear. Sorry to add to the confusion; I wasn't being a drama queen, honest! I wonder if she gave up singing like she did with modelling?

[needlefingers]

I've always said, Amber is the "Madleen Kane" of today.

But then my friends ask me "who's Madleen Kane?":icon_evil:

Some even ask "who's Amber?"


Welcome to my nightmare.

[InvisibleMan]

so is she still alive? Would be interesting what she looks like now.

[FunkyChris]

The latest picture of her seems to be on the back of her 12" Collection from 1994:

[SandraDee]

She looks good on that CD from 15 years ago (no make-up!) but I'd like to bet she's getting into those comfy pants these days a la Teena Marie.:icon_twisted:

[Discoimperium]

Madleen Kane has retired from making music since 1986 and she does not want to make a 'comeback' of any kind. She is a happy woman nowadays just living her life with family and friends and will never return to music in any way.

I realize it's a fan made page - I thought that Madleen Kane fans might want to check it out.

[FunkyChris]

Well, a sign of life or a more current photo would be nice :icon_razz:

Nope, since it's an old thread I checked the net and no recent material is to be found. But hey, Ray Martinez is recording new material, Alec Costandinos is on the verge to release a new album, so maybe dear Madleen, "You Can"!
