New Bubbatunes - it's Angelic

It's been awhile since we did a new Bubbatunes but I got new ink and paper for Christmas so I've been working on a few things. Also, a few months ago I decided to go through my entire CD collection and listen to them in order of their release. As it happens, I am now in April of 1979 when this little ditty was released.

Several times a year I tell everyone how much I love Cheryl Ladd. She was my favorite Charlie's Angel and she happens to be the only one of them who was also a singer. I've already posted her debut album way back in 2007 and it took me this long to get her next two albums - Dance Forever & Take A Chance; but here we are finally.

bub143 Cheryl Ladd - Dance Forever (December 20, 2011)

Like her debut album from the previous year, Dance Forever goes between soft pop ballads and some upbeat soft pop. I think Dance Forever is a better album and it's probably because more outside professional songwriters were brought in. She does an awesome cover of Melissa Manchester's "Better Days" and the upbeat "You're The Only One I Ever Needed" was re-recorded by Dolly Parton a year later for her album Dolly, Dolly, Dolly. "Still Awake" is bouncy fun and "Missing You" issued as a single has a sassy disco-ish beat. There is a 12" remix running around but I haven't been able to find out so it didn't make it as a bonus track on the album. But the bonus tracks we did get are "Where Is Someone To Love Me" released in 1980 to the Japan market (Cheryl's music was big in Japan) and it's flip side "Just Like Old Times" - one of my all time fav Cheryl songs - "So let's forget to write/ please neglect to call/ Maybe losing you's no loss at all" - sassy fun.

So for a limited time enjoy some Cheryl - we'll be back soon with Take A Chance.
