Overview

I Wanna Be Loved By You is Claudja Barry's third studio album, released in November 1978. The lead singer was "Down by the Water" which landed the singer a Top 20 hit in Austria.[2] It was also covered by French singer Joe Dassin as "La vie se chante, la vie se pleure", in German by Christina Harrison ("Ein leeres Zimmer"), and in Dutch by Frank & Mirella (Na regen komt zonneschijn), but it was the second single "(Boogie Woogie) Dancin' Shoes" that was to become the singer's biggest commercial success early 1979, peaking at no. 7 in her native Canada,[3] Top 20 in Belgium & Sweden,[4] and her 3rd Top 10-hit on Billboard's Disco Charts.[5]

The album received a belated release in the US in the summer of 1979, once again with a different track listing to the European version, dropping "Down by the Water", "I Wanna Be Loved by You" and "Love of the Hurtin' Kind" (featured as the B-side of "Dancin' Shoes" instead) in favour of an extended "Dancin' Shoes" and the inclusion of "Forget About You". The album was the first of a 2-album-deal on Chrysalis Records.


Outtakes

Outtakes from the album included "Sunshine Love" (Korduletsch, Evers, Keith Forsey)- B-side "Boogie Tonight" 12" single, Canada), "American Hearts" (Frank Musker-Dominic Bugatti - covered the following year by Billy Ocean), a cover of Umberto Tozzi's "Ti Amo", and "Who Gave Me Love" (Korduletsch, Evers, Barry) - all included on a German compilation album in 1980.[6] The full-length version of the title track, a cover of Marilyn Monroe's signature tune, was featured on the B-side of the "Dancin' Shoes" 12" single.
