INTERVIEW | CHARLENE talks about her massive '80s hit I'VE NEVER BEEN TO ME

After a disastrous marriage, CHARLENE broke down and sobbed when she heard the demo of I'VE NEVER BEEN TO ME, saying 'I HAVE to sing that song — it's my LIFE!' She tells Ian how it became the mammoth global hit on it's second release with the addition of the controversial spoken verse, how legendary Motown producer BERRY GORDY steered it in the studio, and how hit songwriter RON MILLER threatened to give it to DIANA ROSS or BARBRA STREISAND if she didn't deliver like she meant it. Well, boy, did she mean it! We also chat to the man who won her heart and encouraged her to finally find herself, JEFF OLIVER. This is the back-story of the song that's been countlessly covered by everyone, including RANDY CRAWFORD, NANCY WILSON, THE TEMPTATIONS, HOWARD KEEL (yes!), and even HUGO WEAVING, GUY PEARCE, and TERENCE STAMP in drag (oh, yes!) in THE ADVENTURES OF PRISCILLA. It's also a Mardi Gras staple, all these years later. Happy Mardi Gras!
