    WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE NON-HIT Hi-NRG TRACK?

    I'm sure we all have one or two favorite tracks that absolutely undeniably bombed big time upon release. What are your favorites?

    (I thought this might be interesting because what didn't do well in one part of the world might have been huge elsewhere.)

    I like:

    Bonnie Pointer -- The Beast In Me
    Taxxi -- Still In Love

    I would also vote for "Don't Bother To Knock", although i don't remember Simone's version of "Him" being particularly popular, and I loved it!!!

    Klatch - 'God save the queers' Fab track that samples Bobby O 'She has a way'.

    San - Show me
    Time - Shaker shake

    Baisier 'Summer Breeze' was a bit of a hit in the soul clubs in the UK.

    Oh gee! Shaker Shake is a very nice song. It was heavily played in Japan in early 80s. :D But don't know God Save The Queers and Show Me...I wounder if it is like Shaker Shake??

    The Klatch track was availible on a cd called Rush Hour 3 on the React label that normally put out loads of techno.
    Cat no; REACTCD48.
    Try and get it. It's FAB.
    The San track was Belgian and produced by Fonny De Wulf.

    I always loved this track. I've got a copy with a PWL mix on one side which is also good. I never thought of it as hi-nrg really, it's too slow. I can see it has gay appeal as it falls into the 'pretty music' category I feel.
