Zenobia Conkerite


Zenobia cut this pop number in 1985 for Streetwise Records, co-produced by Michael Wooten. I have a personal preference for the dub version because it leaves a lot to the imagination. The vocal single is pretty good and has a tinge of a yacht rockin feel. Before dropping this she had a hand in song writing for a few soul numbers in the 70s and 80s including one or two for motown. Check out this immaculate rare soul number she did for Platinum Hook, produced by Deodato.

  1. Hello Giani, thank you for posting and reviewing my 12" "In The Night" originally recorded for and released by Streetwise Records. Michael Wooten co-produced this with me and we are still rockin'. And your description of "Words Of Love" moves me. Co-writer was Marti Sharron (she). Though not Disco, my debut release, "Home" received 3 Grammy nominations...Thanks again. Best, Zenobia (she)
