Runaway Love is my favorite track of hers, though I am going to go back and listen to a few from your list neonlights that I haven't heard in a while!
Chart Hit [Level 6]
She has lots of great songs. My favs: "You Are, You Are", "If My Friends Could See Me Now", "Let Me Be Your Woman". Wonder what happened to her......
Chart Hit [Level 6]
Redlight, Don't Give It Up and the ballad Let Me Be Your Woman are tops in my book.
Linda has had her share of great house tunes the last few years...I Hear Music, Philly Groove, Back To My Roots and most notably, her cover of Sharon Ridley's Changin' on West End Records...the Tom Moulton mix of this is FABULOUS!!! (and I try not to use that word often :lol: )
Chart Hit [Level 6]
My favorite hasn't been mentioned yet. "Never gonna stop"- It's a midtempo stepper. I also obviously enjoy "Runaway Love' quite a bit.
Underground Hit [Level 5]
"you are, you are" always been a fave song of mine, also "shoot your best shot" is punchy and great. wonderful example of that 79/80 disco sound. "runaway love" will always be classic. never been fond of "if my friends..."
Underground Hit [Level 5]
Lest we forget... From now on
One of my best moments from when I used to DJ was playing at a magazine launch in London a few years ago on a hot, hot summers evening in a venue where air conditioning left a lot to be desired and everybody (understandably) elected to hang out in the street to get some air. I was feeling pretty lousy and hot as I spun some pretty decent tunes. Well... I put on Linda's 'Don't give it up' and that hot old joint was suddenly heaving with people going crazy! The gig really went well from that point on.
Also love
I just wanna

If you want my love to last
Runnaway Love
It's nice to see that she is still out there doing new stuff a lot of it out of the UK. Her version of Changin' on West End Records out of New York is a nice version, especially since I cannot find the Sharon Ridley for love nor money and only have a just about ok MP3 from the internet.

Classics - Runaway Love, If My Friends Can See Me Now
Linda Clifford Now - Changin'

Out of respect for Discokicks....Originally Written by discokicks
Philly Groove, Back To My Roots among others to which she did as Dance Music Versions were excellent!

These Linda Clifford songs from 1977 had until now escaped me :
& just for fun , were it not Linda singing these songs, who could you hear doing them in her place? I hear a different style in each song with each being suitable for two certain artists .
Anybody else? , ( will we agree? )
YOU CAN DO IT
FROM NOW ON

In my collection I have 'You Can Do It' by Frankie Valli & 'From Now On' by Lou Rawls. It seems that Linda C likes to do songs previously sung by males. 'From Now On' was written by Philly legend Bunny Sigler who wrote some classics in his time like FNO, but how come the stuff he wrote for Pattie Brooks' 'Party Girl' LP was so naff?

"Shoot Your Best Shot"...my hands-down favourite
the vocal and instrumental versions are equally brilliant.
...here's the label from the, recalled Greatest Hits', instrumental press
"MUSIC IS AN EMOTION, SEARCHING FOR IT'S VOICE"
...come with me, "BACK TO MUSIC", on DISCOTERIA

my favorite Linda Clifford song has ALWAYS been Curtis Mayfield's "You Are, You Are". Her vocal is passionate, the song itself is great. But I love "Shoot Your Best Shot" and "Let Me Be Your Woman" also.
