Divas - Gloria Gaynor/Chaka Khan/Dionne Warwick

Advantages: you will own it forever
Disadvantages: you will eventually play to death

...The opinion I am writing about is Gloria Estefans, "Anything For You". I like this song because it was my first special song for me and my first girlfriend Gill when I was 15. We listened to it a lot during that year it was sort of an incentitive to keep talking and loving each other. I bought this song because I wanted to remember her for we broke up a year later. We drifted apart and ran out of things to say to each other, in other words ironically we stopped talking funny hey how things work out. I moved away to look after my alcoholic grandad with my mum and dad and well.... It was too far away from her so she finished with me :-(..

...Yes, when I first heard that tune 'Doctor Beat', I thought, my word - she's not going to get very far is she? Well, I guess I was badly wrong becuase quite a few people out there like her! This album was given to me from an ex-husband, and you know how we don't like to play those type of things. But then again, I want to keep it because I might want to listen to it one day! The only tracks that I like on this album are 'Conga', 'Word's get in the way', 'Don't wanna lose you' and 'Coming out of the Dark'. Apart from those few, I would tend to click through the rest. OOOps - sorry Gloria! However, for the average Gloria Estefan fan, this would be an ideal album to have.... Read review
