The Girl Most Likely (Claudja Barry album)
The Girl Most Likely is Claudja Barry's second studio album, released November 1977. It was launched by the single "Take Me in Your Arms" (a cover of Motown-star Kim Weston's 1966 single) and was released just shortly after a duet between Barry and her label-mate Ronnie Jones, a cover of Marvin Gaye & Kim Weston's "It Takes Two". It was felt that the album was short of another hit single, and Korduletsch & Evers quickly produced "Johnny, Johnny, Please Come Home" which would be issued early 1978 as the second single. This would replace the track "I'll Be Dancin' No More" on later LP-pressings. As with her debut album, "The Girl Most Likely" was remixed by Tom Moulton for its US release on Salsoul Records which came out in February 1978 under the title Claudja. The track "Long Lost Friend" was omitted in favour of an extended 7-minute version of "Johnny, Johnny". The single "Dancin' Fever" hit No. 6 on Billboard's Disco Charts[2] and also gave Barry her first Pop hit on Billboard where it charted at No. 72. "Take It Easy" was the second single release in April.[3] OuttakesOuttakes from the album included the song "Wanna Win Your Love Back" (B-side of "Take Me in Your Arms"), a cover of "Summertime" (B-side of "Dancin' Fever" in Canada), and a cover of Badfinger's Without You which remained unreleased until 1980 when it was included on a German compilation album.[4] Track listing1977 European Version
