NATALIE COLE "Pink Cadillac" (12'' Maxi Dance Mixes) 1988 hi-nrg disco house dance classic 80's "Out-Of-Print" RARE!

TRACKLISTING
01 - Pink Cadillac (Club Vocal) (7.35)  1988
02 - Pink Cadillac (Bass It Dub) (6.42)  1988
03 - Pink Cadillac (Radio Edit) (4.09)  1988
04 - I Wanna Be That Woman (12'' Version) (5.14)  1988
05 - Pink Cadillac (Hot Tracks Remix) [Bonus] (7.48)  1988

In the mid-1980s Natalie Cole recorded "Pink Cadillac" at the suggestion of producer Dennis Lambert; Cole recalls: "I thought to myself, 'I'm too old to be doing this kind of stuff'" "but then I'd never worked with anyone quite like Dennis before. He was very passionate about his work [and] his enthusiasm gave me the confidence that I could pull [the song] off." The track was intended for an album release on the Modern label; that project was canceled and Cole's "Pink Cadillac" and another Lambert production: "I Live For Your Love", were picked up by EMI-Manhattan Records to appear on Cole's 1987 album Everlasting.

 "Pink Cadillac" was released as that album's third single in March 1988, returning Cole to the Top Ten for the first time since 1978 in April 1988 to ascend to a #5 peak - matching Cole's previous Pop chart best with "I've Got Love on My Mind" - that May.

Cole's "Pink Cadillac" also reached #9 R&B, #16 A/C and - via a remix by David Cole and Robert Clivilles - #1 on Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart.

According to Cole, "word got back" to her that Bruce Springsteen "thought it was very cool that a woman could [sing "Pink Cadillac"] and it would come out so great".
