Ann-Margaret was born in Sweden and came to America in 1946. In the 1960's Ann-Margaret began a recording career in addition to her already notable film career. While her music ventures didn't prove as successful, she did have a song "I Just Don't Understand" peak on the Billboard Charts at #17 in 1961. Much later, she had this song "Everybody Needs Somebody Sometimes" released in 1981 on First American Records. The song was popular in clubs and reached #22 on the charts. "Everybody..." features brilliant production and writing by Paul Sabu and highlights the soft and throaty qualities of Ann-Margaret's voice. "Everybody Needs Somebody Sometimes (Part 2)" is percussive, with just the right amount of horns and synths.Ann-Margaret -- Everybody Needs Somebody Sometimes(Part 2)

ReplyDeleteAnn-Margaret's best disco turn, IMO. She performed this live at the Paradise Garage!

Love it, but it doesn't sound like '83, it's straight up disco. Not that there's anything wrong with that! I also love "This Girl's Back In Town" which was originally written for Donna Summer.
