Having had 400,000 hits for my clip for Thelma Houston's 'Don't Leave Me This Way', i thought i'd post one for the hi n-r-g version from a decade later: Jeanie Tracy's wonderfully motivational and powerful rendition of the Motown classic. Although a myriad of artists have recorded this song, Jeanie's version has such energy and vocal strength it is hard for me to go past it. Of course I love Thelma's 1977 hit, but it is pure disco, whereas Jeanie's 1985 release is funk/dance/soul wrapped up in a kick ass production. When Jeanie hits those high notes and then holds them for several seconds, it is just put of this world! It is a shame that the name Jeanie Tracy is not a household name. She has been recording for decades and has hooked up with a mix of producers and artists to record many dance anthems and high energy tracks. This is still far and away my favorite of hers.
