Tata Vega is a Motown artist who began her solo career in 1976 on Tamla Records. Her voice is recognizable with the soulful and funk edge she creates with adlibs and delivery. Best known for her vocals in the film “The Color Purple” where she sang under the character Shug Avery – produced by Quincy Jones. Tata’s album “Try My Love” from 1978 featured a classic disco hit “I Just Keep Thinking About You Baby” and kept dance floors waiting for her presence once again. “You Keep Me Hangin’ On” is her cover of The Supremes Motown classic and is produced by Winston Monesque in 1980. The production is an electronic production with a light touch of funk which supplies a wonderful foundation for Tata to play out her style in this recording. More of her soulful talents are drawn out and spotlighted throughout the arrangement. I have taken the 12” version of “You Keep Me Hangin’ On” and reworked the keyboards and Vega’s unforgettable vocals in this ReStructure Mix. New drum tracks pound out more of the rhythm and a lengthier intro leads here.
