Songs with Love in their Titles, part 2 of 6
This was a #1 hit for singer-songwriter and actress Janet Jackson in 1993, which contained samples from James Brown's 1974 song, "Papa Don't Take No Mess." The version I've posted here is my own personal edit of the track, bringing together both the 7" and 12" remix versions by British DJ and producer C.J. Mackintosh, who softened up the beats and added a lovely chime-like riff and synth percussion heard throughout the song. "That's The Way Love Goes" also went to #1 on the USA Dance charts and R&B charts, and to #2 on the UK Pop chart.

![Dan Hartman - Instant Replay (Single Edit)
A Disco classic from the late seventies with that memorable countdown intro, Instant Replay is the title track from Dan Hartmans third album, which had all cuts go to #1 on the USA Dance charts in 1978. The single crossed over to the pop charts, peaking at #29 on Billboards Hot 100 while it enjoyed a much bigger pop success on the UK charts, where it reached #8.

![Roberta Flack with Donny Hathaway - Back Together Again (Single Version)
This was one of my favorite songs of 1980, and its a duet by singers and songwriters Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway, released posthumously a year after Donny Hathaways death. The single version is edited from the much longer album version thats almost 10 minutes long, and I just love the arrangements here, particularly the brassy parts, guitar twangs, and handclaps heard throughout the song. Back Together Again went to #56 on Billboards Hot 100 chart, and became Roberta Flacks first Dance chart hit, going to #6. The single also became a Top 5 hit in the UK, peaking at #3 on the UK Pop chart. And its another song that I thought deserved to be a bigger hit here. [ repost - originally posted on August 6, 2020 ]

![Linda Ronstadt - Winter Light
The Ladies Sing The Movies, part 1 of 4
The theme for this week are the songs from movies sung by four prolific ladies, starting with my all-time favorite female singer, Linda Ronstadt. Winter Light is the theme of the 1993 film, The Secret Garden and this lovely, ethereal song thats one of the most beautiful songs I ever heard plays during the movies end credits, while its soothing melody is woven throughout the films score that was composed by Zbigniew Preisner. In an unusual move, the song was only available as the title track of Lindas 1993 studio album, and not on the films soundtrack album. While the track was only released as a single in the UK and parts of Europe, it never charted, making it another of those songs that I thought deserved to be a big hit.
