Sharon Redd is the diva of the funk with a disco groove following it. Her introduction onto the dance floor was beautifully timed with a studio group called Front Page and their huge single “Love Insurance” from 1979. Her solo recording career began in 1980 with her big Prelude Records single “Can You Handle It” – and following were big dance palace hits including “In The Name of Love” and “Beat The Street”. “Undercover Girl” is a single released in 1985 – produced by Michael Stokes. It was close to the 80’s pop-funk sound that groups like Apollonia 6 and Midnight Star were weaving. It is the Sharon Redd who plays it street like a lady. One of the funk-fests for Redd and in her own way she conquers this piece.
I have taken the 12’ vocal and instrumental of “Undercover Girl” and re-jammed a ReStructure Mix for this beat-crisp number. The beats are reworked into a new outline and Sharon’s confession is portrayed in a new way. This mix is dedicated to the lady herself, Sharon Redd and also, Lona Warden – who still teaches me how love is so strong and lasting.
