British singer-songwriter Cathy Dennis' remake of a song originally recorded in 1984 by the American R&B group Wish featuring Fonda Rae became her biggest hit, going to #2 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart in 1991. "Touch Me (All Night Long)" also became a #1 song on the Dance charts and went to #5 on the UK Pop chart. Early versions of her album lists the song as "All Night Long (Touch Me)", with some releases containing both the different titles on either the album jacket or disc label. The song was slightly rewritten by Cathy from the original, and Shep Pettibone's mix and arrangements for the single version are quite lovely; this was one of my favorite songs of 1991, and also my all-time favorite Cathy Dennis song--it should've gone to #1!
original version on the album Move To This
