Save Me

Wow...I'm back from nature and the rain has been non stop. "Save Me" is a song I'm featuring today by non other than Brooklyn native Nanette Workman. I discovered this iconic woman while rumaging through record bins in Montreal a while back and instantly fell in love with her music. She was raised in Jackson, Mississippi by musician parents and then moved to Quebec, Canada where she has become one of their own. Although an English native speaker, most of her music is sung in French. She became a disco sensation during the mid 70's with songs from her LP Lady Marmalade. "Dancer Dancer" was a huge disco dance floor filler. One of my favorite songs from this seminal disco LP was "Donne Donne". A luscious and dramatic song with beautiful chic arrangements. Finally, I am thrilled to have found the English version of this song from her LP titled Nanette Workman which has all her previous songs sung in English for the first time . Upon hearing the English version, I totally lost it since it brought back memories when I was a young lad listening to that song played by my mother! I finally put the pieces back together why I reacted so strongly to the French version. Now let's hope we are "saved" from this rain! Enjoy
