Woman to Woman (Shirley Brown song)
" Woman to Woman" is the title of a 1974 deep soul single recorded by Shirley Brown for whom it was a# 1 R&B hit.
The song was written by James Banks, Eddie Marion and Henderson Thigpen, who had previously written hits for Little Milton, the Bar- Kays and other Stax Records artists.
According to Thigpen, he and Banks were brainstorming ideas for songs at Stax Studio" trying to come up withsomething different.
When people get serious, they say:' Hey, let's talk man to man' We thought it would be interesting to have a song with somebody coming up[ with]:' Hey, let's talk woman to woman'."
Thigpen had recently overheard his wife on the phone arguing with a friend about an involved couple of their acquaintance, and- with Eddie Marion- Thigpen and Banks completed their" Woman to Woman" song structuring it as a phone call from a wife to her husband's mistress.
" Woman to Woman" was first offered to Inez Foxx, then signed to Stax's Volt label, who turned it down because- according to Banks- she did n't want to do the spoken intro, feeling that format could only work for a male singer.
Around this time Shirley Brown was introduced to Stax president Jim Stewart by Albert King in whose live revue she'd performed while a teenager:
Stewart was impressed enough by Brown to himself produce her Stax debut recording- Stewart's first production task in two years- of" Woman to Woman"( Stewart co-produced the track with Al Jackson Jr.) with Brown cutting her vocal in a single take.
Brown would state in a 1975 interview" The guys who wrote[' Woman to Woman'] sang it through to me and I felt it needed a rap to begin it, so I wrote one off the top of my head"; however the song's co-writer James Banks has stated that the spoken intro was part of the song when it was offered to Inez Foxx, whose dislike of the" rap" caused her to turn the song down.
Reportedly selling a million units in its first eight weeks of release," Woman to Woman" spent two weeks at# 1 on" Billboard" magazine's Hot Soul Singles chart in November 1974 and crossed- over to the Top 40 of the" Billboard" Hot 100, peaking there at# 22.
The song is notable for being the last big hit for Stax Records.
