 |  | I'm Tellin You (I Love This!) |  |
This is a very powerful vocal song and the album is worth paying any price for belive me. 2001 TommyBoy Silver was at it's greatest time when they was making CD Singles for Thunderpuss, Rosabel, Pusaka, and other great DJ's. It's just too bad that TommyBoy Silver Records is now not doing nothing. And they were really on a roll in 2001, maybe hopefully one day they will work with the DJ's and Artists that worked for them back in 2001 and 2002.

"And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" is the theme (or a theme) from the musical Dreamgirls. Jennifer Holliday was one of the original cast members, and has made a name for herself thanks to her amazing performance(s) of this title. Here, Jennifer re-recorded her anthem with remix superstars Rosabel (Ralphi Rosario & Abel Aguilera) (Gloria Estefan, "Oye"; Funky Green Dogs, "Can't Help It") to create a remix package for her/their fans. There are 2 radio mixes/edits on here: Ralphi's Classic House Radio Edit & Tranceuro Express Radio Edit. Ralphi's Classic House Radio Edit is very similar to the original, backed up with a disco/dance beat. The Tranceuro Express Radio Edit is, you guessed it, a Euro-club Radio cut of the title (it sounds very similar to a Johnny Vicious Remix). After these 2 tracks, the single offers 4 full-length remixes/anthems. Track 3 is the Rosabel Anthem Mix, which is similar to track 1, just an extended version. This is a good one to play in the clubs if a DJ wants to play this song in a remix similar to the original version. Next is the Rosabel Attitude Mix, which is a total Anthem Remix. This is different from the previous Rosabel/Ralphi remixes, although part of the mix does sample the original melody. The beats and synths are more hard-hitting. (This mix was featured on Thunderpuss' full-length release, "Thunderpuss"). Track 5 is the Junior Vasquez (Beyonce, "Me, Myself & I"; Deborah Cox, "Easy As Life") Earth Club Anthem, remixed by the legendary Junior Vasquez, and programmed by long-time associate Joey Mosk. This mix is awesome!!! It is somewhat similar to the original, and has a light feel to it, yet it maintains its own identity. The last track is Ralphi's Funky Underground Vox. This remix sounds just as it is titled. If you are a fan of Jennifer Holliday and/or Rosabel, or if you love big divas, anthems, Junior Vasquez or trance music, then pick this up!!! It's out of print and hard to find, so if you see one, grab it. You won't be dissapointed. The track listing is:
1. Ralphi's Classic House Radio Edit 3:44
2. Tranceuro Express Radio Edit 3:50
3. Rosabel Anthem Mix 9:43
4. Rosabel Attitude Mix 10:27
5. Junior Vasquez Earth Club Anthem 9:23
6. Ralphi's Funky Underground Vox 7:24
And I Am Telling You that I'm glad I picked this one up and is now a part of my collection.

As a pro Disc Jockey for 15+ years, it takes a really great song (much less a cover) to get me excited. Indeed, some songs do improve when covered, but this is not just a cover...it's a wonderful remake. As dance remixes go, this cut totally embodies within itself the true depth and emotion Ms. Holliday gave her original Broadway hit. Granted, you most likely won't hear this one on your favorite top 40 station, and unless you know who Jennifer Holliday is, you won't even care...but you will love it from the first beat to the last. Get this CD...(or 12" Wax...for the old skool)
January 31, 2004Perhaps I'm being bold by expressing disappointment without actually listening to the disc. The highest compliment to an artist is remakes by successive generations. Jennifer Holliday performed and cut the definitive version of this song in the early eighties. Some movies need no sequels. The same goes for books. Look at the volume commissioned by the Margaret Mitchell Estate attempting a follow-up to the classic "Gone With The Wind". Other reviewers mentioned inferior versions "proliferating" overseas. Let it be. Pardon the pun, but how many remakes of that Beatles tune saturate the market? If Paul McCartney redid "Let It Be" or "Hey Jude" as a stomp, would it improve upon those classics? Or would it reduce him and those masterpieces to carnival commercialism? Why not attach it to a marketing deal with McDonalds or Chrysler? Other legends market their images and art, true. But doesn't it cheapen both?
