29 окт. 2024 г. E.G. DAILY “MIND OVER MATTER“ 1987 “Mind over Matter“ is a song by the American singer E. G. Daily, which was released in 1987 as a single from the soundtrack album of the American comedy film ’Summer School’. The song was written by Michael Jay and Rick Palombi, and produced by Stock Aitken Waterman. It reached number 7 on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs Chart, and number 22 on the Cash Box Top 12“ Dance Singles Chart. Jay and Palombi wrote “Mind over Matter“ in 1985. It was originally recorded by Nikki Leeger and released in 1986 as a UK-only single by RCA. The following year saw Debbie Harry record the song, which was slated for release as a single from the soundtrack of the upcoming film Summer School. However, label disputes caused her version to go unreleased. Although they were willing to allow the song to be included on the film’s soundtrack, Chrysalis refused to allow Harry’s version to be released as a single. The label decided to have the song re-recorded and came to an agreement with A&M Records over the hiring of Daily, who flew to PWL Studios in London, UK, to provide vocals on the track. For the USA release, a music video was filmed to promote both the single and the ’Summer School’ movie, which was directed by Maurice Phillips and produced by Nicholas Myers for AWGO. It featured many cast members of Summer School and achieved breakout rotation on MTV. For the Australian release, the music video was re-edited, creating a 2nd version in black & white, exclusively showcasing E. G. Daily (removing ’Summer School’ movie promo footage), which is the “Ver.2“ video showcasing here.
