The Singles (Dannii Minogue Album)
''The Singles'' is a greatest hits compilation by Australian singer Dannii Minogue. It was released by Mushroom Records on 3 November 1998 in Australia only. The album features all fourteen of Minogue's singles released between 1990 and 1998. The tracklist opts for the original album versions of each song rather than their respective single versions, with the exceptions of "Jump to the Beat" and "Baby Love", which were not included on Minogue's original debut, '' Dannii'' but on its Australian re-issue '' Love and Kisses and...''. The album includes the UK-only single " Love's on Every Corner" and the Australian-only single "Coconut", which was a hidden track on ''Girl''.

"All I Wanna Do" is a song written by Brian Higgins, Stuart McLennan, Tim Powell, and Matt Gray for Australian singer Dannii Minogue's third studio album, ''Girl'' (1997). The song was produced by Higgins and Gray. "All I Wanna Do" marked a significant change in Minogue's career and image, as did her album ''Girl'' from which it was taken.

Alan Jones from ''Music Week'' said, "The title track from Minogue's last MCA album makes a belated appearance. And should radio warm to the Hustler's Convention's housed-up transformations of the track, already big in the clubs, Minogue could net another medium-sized hit."

This Is The Way (Dannii Minogue Song)
"This Is the Way" is a dance-pop song written by Eliot Kennedy, Cary Baylis and Michael Ward for Australian singer Dannii Minogue's second album, ''Get into You'' (1993).

Critical reception Alan Jones from ''Music Week'' wrote, "Strong bass and weedy synth strings underpin a muscular pop/dance confection that draws one of Minogue's meatier vocals." Tom Doyle from ''Smash Hits'' gave the song three out of five, describing it as "the sort of perky pop records that made Kylie famous. It's your typical hands-in-the-air house stuff in which Dannii goes "searching for love" before discovering her "true love story". You get the picture." Music video The accompanying music video for "This Is the Way" was filmed in New Jersey and serves as a sequel to that of Minogue's previous hit, " This Is ...

This Is It (Van McCoy Song)
"This Is It" is a 1976 disco song written by Van McCoy, and performed by American singer and actress Melba Moore for her fifth album of the same name (1976). Background Melba Moore would give credit to her husband/manager Charles Huggins, whom she married in September 1974, with getting her signed to Buddah Records in 1975 — ending a four-year recording studio absence — and with arranging for veteran soul music songwriter/producer Van McCoy to helm Moore's second Buddah album release, which she began recording in January 1976. The recruitment of McCoy to helm Moore's album was essentially due to McCoy's success as a producer of disco records, it being hoped that a disco hit would consolidate the somewhat nebulous success Moore had to that point experienced as a recording artist: (Melba Moore quote:)"I just couldn't ignore the mpactthat disco was having on music". The album's disco-oriented title track was released in March 1976 and became a discothèque favorite: while the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Show You The Way To Go
"Show You the Way to Go" is a song written by Gamble and Huff and recorded by the Jacksons for their 1976 CBS debut album, ''The Jacksons''. Released as a single in early 1977, it was the only number-one song for the group in the UK. It was later covered by Dannii Minogue in 1992. The Jacksons version "Show You the Way to Go" became a hit for the Jacksons, (formerly known as "The Jackson 5") after their departure from Motown nearly two years prior. The move made it easy for the brothers to write and produce their own material. They spent a couple of years under the production and direction of Gamble and Huff and were signed to Philadelphia International Records. This was one of the songs that the producers wrote for the brothers. This song was released after " Enjoy Yourself," released a year earlier. Michael sang lead and background vocals. Marlon Jackson, and the rest of the brothers (Randy having replaced Jermaine) had backup parts. The song reached No. 6 US ''Billboard ...

Critical reception In their review of the '' Love and Kisses'' album, ''Billboard'' wrote that songs like "I Don't Wanna Take This Pain" "surround her chirpy voice with contagious beats and melodies that should sound just dandy on top 40 radio." Rozalla Miller reviewed the song for ''Smash Hits'', adding "...her voice sounds much better on this record than it does on her other ones. It's pretty good, but it's not as catchy as Baby ...
