(I Wanna Give You) Devotion Something Special

"(I Wanna Give You) Devotion," was the name of a House/Rave themed club track by the British Dance outfit Nomad. The track was a top ten UK hit in 1990, where it reached number 2, and a number 1 Billboard Hot Dance Club Play Chart single in the United States, where it reached the top spot in June 1991 and stayed there for only one week.

The track was produced by Damon Rochefort, who also share writing credits with fellow Nomad member Steve McCutcheon and rapper MC Mikey Freedom. Although Freedom and singer Sharon Dee Clarke were the featured artists on this track when it was released in the United Kingdom and other territories (Even though Freedom was the only one to get his name credited), they were listed as uncredited in the US single version up until the act's full length CD "Changing Cabins" was released Stateside in the Fall of 1991. Both artists were featured in the video for the track, which had them dressed in body paint while they were performing the song at a rave concert.

In addition to the rap version, there is also a Soul Mix version that features Clarke's vocal performance without the rap. Both versions along with the Italo house version are included in the "Changing Cabins" CD.
