"First Time" by Robin Beck
Woke Up with it in My Head Song for Wednesday, November 18, 2020': “First Time” by Robin Beck.
Here’s a song that spent three weeks at number one you likely never heard. Even though it was a smash all around Europe, it never even charted in the United States. Until recently, I had never heard it either.
The hook (1:13) was playing on repeat in my head this morning.
Beck sang backup and worked with some pretty big names early on in her career. After this song, she sang backup on a couple of Cher’s hits.
This is one of those puzzling songs. I don’t understand how it could do so well everywhere else but not even get on the charts here.
Two videos were made for this song. Here’s the other one with more of a rock edge.
