"I Didn't Mean To Turn You On," Cherrelle

[tozion]

Before Robert Palmer did his spoken pop-rock version and before Mariah Carey did her by the numbers carbon copy, Cherrelle had a minor hit with the original version. It was released from 1984's Fragile. Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis were responsible for the production work, slightly reminiscent of Prince's "1999". It's not her best, but it's a very solid hit of her's and one of her highlight singles.

I really needed to make this thread, so I could post the video. CLASSIC 80's!

The best version IMO. The beat is still hot. That video is hilarious.
