Got a request for this rare obscurity that slipped my ailing memory, but found a back up from the album i got rid of years ago, which really surprised me as i caoulnt remember buying it!. I dont know half the stuff i still have till i find and sort out 😂..making good inroads to that now. Should have done it years go. This was a one off album recorded by Ms Zinga Washington and 4 singles followed on then she vanished!..Nothing else i can find out about her i,m afraid. Apart from many of these tracks were big in the clubs in the 1980,s.

(May 16, 2018) In the early 1980s, Atlanta-based Zinga Washington played clubs with the likes of The S.O.S. Band and caught the attention of the late Donnie Linton, founder and manager of Crown Heights Affair. Signed in ’82 to Linton’s short-lived CBS subsidiary My Disc Records, Washington quickly caught the ears of New York club-goers via a surprisingly sultry and smooth cover of none other than the Queen of Soul’s “Respect.” Although follow-up singles like the funky “Check Me Out” and passionate ballad “I’m Not Strong Enough” failed to chart, they further established her as a unique soulstress whose records collectors have continued to spin in the decades since.
30 years on, Washington has lost none of her vocal zeal, as evidenced by her new single on Jamstone Records, “Run Around Love.” An adaptation of an Ollie Brown-penned jam first recorded by Gloria Gaynor, the catchy tune and its riveting arrangement mix old-school funkiness with tints of modern production behind her sassy tones and alluring phrasing. It’s a welcome return after a long hiatus from a colorful career in recording and touring that includes time as one of Joe Tex’s Texette A-Go-Go-Girls. Take a First Listen to “Run Around Love” below and let us know what you think!
