Wikipedia article"'Who Do You Wanna Be'" is the eighth single by the Dutch girl group Luv', released in the autumn of 1979 by Philips/Phonogram Records. This song appears on the formation's debut album With Luv' and their first compilation "Greatest Hits". It was the trio's closing release under their contract with Philips/Phonogram just before they joined CNR/Carrere Records. Song historyWhen record producer Hans van Hemert and Luv' planned to leave Phonogram Records in 1979, the label decided as a counterattack to release Who Do You Wanna Be only in the Netherlands. This song was taken from the group's first opus With Luv' and later included on a Greatest Hits album. Luv' group didn't promote the song and instead focused on their Carrere releases (Ooh, Yes I Do and True Luv'). That's why it failed to enter the record charts. Cover versionIn 1979, Irish pop group Gina, Dale Haze and the Champions released a cover version of this track. This followed a cover version of You're the Greatest Lover (also originally by Luv') - both singles made the Irish top ten.[http://www.irishcharts.ie/search/placement?page=2 Peak positions on Irish record charts] ReferencesCategory:1979 singles Category:1978 songs Category:Luv' songs Category:Songs written by Hans van Hemert Category:Songs written by Piet Souer Category:Philips Records singles Category:Phonogram Records singles | |
