Reggaefied version of the Barbara Acklin classic. In 1981, Charmaine Burnette was pretty much unknown and untested as a singer, but Dennis Forbes heard potential in her voice. Recorded in London's Chinatown where Dean Fraser and an all-Jamaican band were gathered, Burnette recorded her first single "Am I the Same Girl," recorded in the same session as Sugar Minott's "Got a Good Thing Going." The heavy bass drum and sweet vocal combination wasn't right for its time but is just right for today's fat subwoofers and deep bass bins.
