Bluedreamer's Choice No 27
**************************
"I've Never Been to Me" is a sleeper hit single performed by American singer Charlene Oliver née D'Angelo. Upon its initial release in 1977, the song reached number 97 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. In 1982, renewed interest in the song led to the single reaching Number 3 in the USA and Number 1 in the UK. The song also reached number 1 in Australia for six weeks. Charlene herself recorded a Spanish version of this song called Nunca He Ido A Mi with the spoken bridge portion intact. It was released concurrently with the English version. Charlene did two versions of the song. The version which was initially released was actually the second version which Charlene recorded. Her original version (which became more popular) has an expanded bridge, over which the singer makes an impassioned comparison between the non-committal "fantasy about people and places as we'd like them to be," versus the committed real love of a family.***************************
