Talk:Charlene (singer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Can someone with insight in the subject insert information from this text
1977 she reached number 97 on the Hot 100 singles chart with "I've Never Been to Me" (written by Ron Miller), but was unable to build on this success, and was dropped from the Motown roster in 1980. Charlene moved to the United Kingdom and had left the music business, until, in 1982, Tampa, Florida disc jockey Scott Shannon, then at WRBQ, started playing "I've Never Been to Me". Audience reaction was impressive, and spread quickly, resulting in the song's re-issuance by Duncan's label. The re-released single would go on to peak at number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, also hitting number 1 on the UK Singles Chart in the summer of 1982.

[edit] Tone
The tone is confused in a paragraph like "Charlene did three versions of the song, the initial version of which was actually the second version recorded.". If the initial version is the second version recorded, was the first recorded version ever issued and if so when? And what about the third one? Moreover, what is intended by "version"? If the status of version refers to a pre-recorded song structure (i.e. a song with a differing lyric part) this needs be clarified. 212.162.117.66 (talk) 10:00, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Atricle is melodramatic, not a fit for Wikipedia. 72.79.207.149 14:45, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
Well, the tone is slightly subjective, but hardly 'melodramatic'. The main problem is it is just repeated information from the 'I've Never Been To Me' entry. Why have both? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.23.146.66 (talk) 21:39, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Edit needed
Happened to come across this page by chance and read it in horror! Quote: "Charlene is presently married and runs a sweet shop in Ilford, Essex, England. She is still hoping to make it in the modern pop era, but it seems clear that she won't be getting any more number 1's considering her last one was 26 years ago. Charlene has a pet dog called Sam." Who wrote this?? Is it vandalism - or is somebody actually putting this forward as an encyclopediac entry?--Tuzapicabit (talk) 00:04, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
