It was indeed very infectious. I so wish Bernard Edwards had produced more of the songs on Swept Away. “We Are The Children” and “Rescue Me” are appalling recordings for someone of Diana’s musical stature.
Had “Telephone” been recorded just a couple of year earlier i think it could have gone top ten. RCA appeared to have little faith in it’s pop potential as it was serviced mostly to r &b radio stations. At that point in time they were probably right.
