Oh, Manchester, So Much To Answer For

I understand that jimmy jam & terry lewis produced most of the glitter soundtrack, but this is ridiculous: I just realized this evening, listening to cherelle's original version of "I didn't mean to turn you on" (famously covered by robert palmer, of course, and subsequently by mariah) that jam & lewis completely ripped off their own production of cherelle for mariah's cover. twisted, weird, and morally very dubious. of course, cherelle's take is best, though I'm also fond of palmer's smoothie-cool rendition as well.
