[@lindawyche6837]

Go head Ms. LaSalle, "You Rock". Mercy, this song brings back so many precious memories. In my younger days, I sung all these songs (and still does) all the time. I called myself Denise LaSalle, Betty Wright, Tina Turner, Betty Swan, and Peggy Scott-Adams, I was all of them LOL! "didn't sound bad either". I was rocking their songs, Betty Wright, Tina Turner, Betty Swan, Peggy Scott--Adams, and I could go on and on. Today, I still imitate them all. Rest In Love Queens (Denise LaSalle, Peggy Scott and Betty Wright!!! ❤♫❤♫❤♫

[@lindabrown2090]

I remember all 3 of these songs . I liked all of them especially “Make Me Yours. And “ Trapped y the Game Called Love”. That was my Jam. “Precious Baby of Mine “ was nice too. These songs still sound good. I remember Trapped by the Game Called Love , I was a Senior in High School. Ooh those House parties we use to go to That’s what it reminds me of. Those were the Days.

By the way, this was recorded live at the Players Palace, the nightclub in Jackson, TN that Ms. LaSalle and her husband, James Wolfe, owned in the late1970s/early '80s. That's Wolfe, who was a prominent Jackson radio DJ (and, later, radio station owner), introducing her..

Thanks for the upload. Always like "this groove". She redid it again on Malaco, but it wasn't as in depth as "this groove". Thanks again for sharing. Oh.. It'a also been released on CD. Not the whole LP, but this "groove" is on a greatest hits compilation. "For thos who are looking for this".

good music

[@jazzmanchgo]

This was during the period when MCA was trying to pigeonhole Denise into a disco format. In her live performances, though, she still had her vintage soul spirit, as this track demonstrates. And guess what -- she hasn't lost it! It's gotten spicier with age! Catch her in performance next time she comes to your town.

[@janetboggs3004]

HAzel Chism, I know it’s been two years ago,but you are wrong honey,she,s Not talking about James E. Wolfe,She,s talking about Bill Jones,her first husband,she was,nt married to James E. Wolfe in 1971,she was married to Bill Jones from 1969 to 1974.

[@jazzmanchgo]

That's Wolfe introducing her here. This was recorded live at the Players Palace, a nightclub that she and Wolfe owned iin Jackson TN n the late 1970s/early '80s. The record was released in 1979.

[@janetboggs3004]

David Whiteis Your information is all wrong dear, first of all Trapped by a thing called love was released in 1971 ,Not in 1979,,It’s was released in 1971 while She was married to her first Husband ,Bill Jones,The two of them owned a record company together,and this Version of it was Not recorded at a club in Jackson,Tn. ,It was recorded at a club somewhere in Florida,She was married to Bill Jones from 1969 to 1974,she married James E. Wolf in 1977. Like I said this version of the song was recorded live at a club in Florida in 1979.

[@jazzmanchgo]

@@janetboggs3004 I know "Trapped" was released in '71 when she and Bill Jones had their three record labels (Crajon, Gold Star, and Parka); I also know she married Wolfe in '77. The live version of the "My Groove" medley that I'm familiar with is on her LP Unwrapped (1979), which is the one pictured here. The credits clearly state that the medley was "recorded live at the Players Palace Entertainment Center, Jackson, Tennedsee -- Emcee: James 'Super' Wolfe." They both confirmed this to me personally. ( The building where the Players Palace was is still standing on Airways Blvd. in Jackson; it's now an auto body shop.) This sounds like the same version to me; if it isn't, I apologize. I know she did this medley in a lot of her shows, so maybe this is a different version that I hadn't been aware of.

[@janetboggs3004]

David Whiteis I think it is a different version that you are talking about ,because I remember this version on this album,it was recorded somewhere in Florida.

[@jazzmanchgo]

@@janetboggs3004 If this is the version from "Unwrapped," I have that album and in the credits it definitely says that the medley was recorded live at Players Palace, and that Wolfe is the emcee. And if this isn't that same version, it sure sounds like it! She did cut another verson of this medley for Malaco; maybe that's the one that was recorded in Florida? Here's the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5vKpmmnlNh8o8U The thing is, though, I don't think this was ever included on an album. She also released a couple of live versions of "Trapped By a Thing Called Love " itself for Malaco, retitled "Trapped 1990." One appeared on her album "Still Trapped": kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2ioe51nh8Zmgck . . . and another, different one on a live music video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHfFfGSQrryMldU Not sure where these were recorded, though.

[@libramoon5013]

What happened to the video? All I see is a black screen?!?

[@jazzmanchgo]

There's no video. This is a "live" track from her albm Unwrapepd, which is pictured here. I think ther is a KZbin video of her performng his medley, but this isn't it. EDIT: Yes, here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5vKpmmnlNh8o8U
