Hello!
It seems that some people have doubts as to whether or not the songs posted on The Penguin are Fritz or not. I believe they are, as you can can clearly hear both Stevie and Lindsey, and the variey of quality in the tracks kind of suggests that they weren't done by some pretender. What niggles me is this...
A couple of years ago, I downloaded some Fritz demos: When [Will] We Love Again, I Need You, See The World Go By, Anybody Out There and Amber. Listening to them in light of what The Penguin has been posting, they don't sound like the same band, and (this might just be psychosematic) they don't really sound like Stevie to me anymore. I can't remember where I got them from. Does anybody know where they came from, and how they became available?
Also, a little factoid for you...
You know 'Call Me' by Blondie, from American Gigolo? Well, Giorgio Moroder had written the whole thing and geve it to Stevie as his first choice. She said she'd do it as long as she could change the lyrics, but Giorgio said no and offered it to Kate Bush (can you imagine?). Her reaction was the same as Stevie's. He then gave it to Blondie, and Debbie reacted to the lyrics in the same way as Stevie and Kate. Giorgio, obviously with doubts about his lyrics by now, relented. Debbie rewrote the lyrics and voila! Interesting, that, wasn't it?
