A great track. Too bad the LP it comes from is so expensive to get! I also like her '75 recording with Van McCoy 'I Can't Get By'.

[STEPHEN L FREEMAN]

I'm touched the most, by songs that come from an angle that's outside the usual "I've gotta Dance, Dance, Dance" or, "I'm in Love, Love, Love" theme. And "Changin'" (just like Buddy Miles' "Pull Yourself Together") illustrates the angst, regret, and eventual acceptance, that comes with love's demise.

from Brian Chin:
"Ridley's jazz-flavored vocals convey regret, but she doesn't sound all that broken-hearted."

from Producer and co-writer Jerry Peters:
"So many songs talk about hurt and loss. But time is like change itself; it's a result of time, a reality that must be dealt with"

[Dayna]

But time is like change itself; it's a result of time, a reality that must be dealt with"

I so agree~!
And dealt with gracefully......Big Kitten hugz....Moosey.......

there's something very curious about all this. CHANGIN' is an LP cut from Sharon Ridley's LP FULL MOON, her first for Tabu records.

Firstly , my initial question was - why this one LP for Tabu Records from Ms. Ridley and then nothing more ?? Nothing again (??) on any label for that matter. (??)

Secondly, why such minimal marketing by Tabu ? Once again , begging the proverbial disco question:

"Where's the 12" remix ?!!? " .

Tabu was a fledgling label with not that much going on ... so "lost in the shuffle" doesn't seem to address it. And Tabu was already well aware of the power of the 12" from Brainstorm's LOVING IS REALLY MY GAME which they'd released as a commercial single.

Thirdly, which is the most troubling aspect to all this - is what is found within the NOTES at discogs associated with Ridley's FULL MOON lp release:
