ReStructure Mix Update (2/25/21) “Don’t You Want Me” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Jody Watley

Jody Watley is one of the artists from the 70’s who successfully transformed herself into funk singers who made a light of her own career. From her first appearance as a “Soul Train dancer” and then onto being a member of one of the most exciting disco groups of the late 70’s – Shalamar. Throughout the 70’s it seemed as though her singing career had become the worthy investment and in the 80’s her solo career was the big win. “Don't You Want Me” is from her first solo project and was produced by Bernard Edwards of Chic. This track is one of the most iconic pieces which give off Jody’s aura of a gentle sweetness and yet a hard hitting funk edge. One of my favorites of mine from productions to the last vocal piece it is hypotonic.

I have taken the 12” club version, dub and vocal dub into a dreamy like arrangement for this ReStructure Mix of “Don’t You Want Me”. There is an added hint of Jody’s past and also a few new breakdowns and a fade.
