"I'm Here Again" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Thelma HoustonThelma Houston is a gift from the 70s. Her talent has given soul/R&B and disco music a lift for lasting emotion in many of her recordings. Her career in the industry began in 1969 with her LP "Sunshower". In 1976 she created a window for disco music with her Grammy award winning cover of "Don't Leave Me This Way" (originally recorded by Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes in 1975).
"I'm Here Again" revisits a similar sound and feel with more of Thelma's magic - it is from her 1977 album "The Devil In Me". Produced by Brenda and Michael B. Sutton. Although this track and her prior year hit are along the same sound - there is a wonderful sound here again.
I have taken the 12" version and have given it another spin with some ReStructure Mix elements including a new intro and exit. The original has a great build - even though my focus was to introduce the song with a wall of the beautiful strings and tambourines.
Requested from Nick and Lindsay - you wonderful boys make the music more than it is - that in itself is a gift! Thank you - and this is for you both.

This Restructure Mix is thrilling and truly inspired - the pumping new intro leads you into an exciting landscape where Thelma weaves her magic, away from the shadow of Don't Leave Me This Way. If Thelma had the benefit of this mix in 1977, I'm Here Again would have been the smash it deserved to be. Thanks Glenn - it's sensational! Nick & Lindsay:)
