Search - Lulu :: I Don't Want to Fight

Thirty five years after she took the US by storm with "To Sir With Love" - staying at No. 1 on the Billboard chart for an incredible five weeks - Lulu is as active as ever, with chart records in every decade from the Sixties to the present day. Inspired by her recent autobiography, I Don't Want To Fight features nine cuts previously not issued in the US, including: -- "I Don't Want To Fight," Lulu's own recording of the Grammy-nominated song she wrote for Tina Turner, included here in Lulu's original demo version -- The Billboard club hit "Independence," which was also a #1 CHR airplay track in the UK. -- "I'm Back For More," Lulu's UK hit duet with soul legend Bobby Womack. -- Two versions of her first ever self-composed Top 40 hit, "Goodbye Baby And Amen": the original Brothers In Rhythm-produced single version and the excellent Stonebridge club mix -- Her cover of the Jackie Moore disco hit "This Time Baby" -- Her self-penned UK single "Every Woman Knows," the video for which features cameos by Boy George and Kim Wilde, among others. -- The Frankie Knuckles classic remix of the Bee Gee written and produced "Let Me Wake Up In Your Arms" -- The Drizabone remix of her UK single "There Has Got To Be A Way" Two of the cuts included here were recorded in Miami - the Bee Gee written and produced "Let Me Wake Up In Your Arms" and her remake of the Champaign hit "How 'Bout Us." In all, this collection includes two US singles and no fewer than six UK chart singles, and represents most of Lulu's recorded output in the Nineties. It also brought her to the attention of a new, younger audience in addition to her original "To Sir With Love" era fans, and put her on the Billboard dance charts for the first time. Describing 'Goodbye Baby and Amen' as "magnificent", US reviewer John Hrabar, writing in Dance Music Authority, enthused: "Each new Lulu release is met with real anticipation and all expectations are met and exceeded."
