"Am I the Same Girl?" is a popular song written by Eugene Record and Sonny Sanders. First recorded in 1968 by Barbara Acklin and then a year later by Dusty Springfield, "Am I the Same Girl?" charted most successfully in the US as a 1992 release by Swing Out Sister. 

Swing Out Sister recorded their cover of the song for their album, Get in Touch with Yourself. Lead vocalist Corinne Drewery has acknowledged Dusty Springfield as a major influence but says it was a chance hearing of the Acklin version at a disco specializing in Northern soul that convinced Drewery and her band partner Andy Connell to remake "Am I the Same Girl?"

BOOK - Kitchen Confidential (by Anthony Bourdain) and Bourdain: The Definitive Oral Biography (by Laurie Woolever)

From a flirty kiss on the hand at the ice skating rink to full-blown makeout sesh at Flip's place a few days later. Things were moving fast between Sam/Flip/Phillip and Nancy. Ooooh Nancy. Have fun girl.

At that moment, Anthony was moping at the comic book shop with pal Dae Bennett (2nd son of famous singer Tony Bennett who also lives in Leonia. Dae and Tony were often in detention together at school.) Tony loves comic books and even posted an ad in the paper seeking old comic books. He also really likes trying to draw and create his own.

BOOK SYNOPSIS - In Kitchen Confidential chef Anthony Bourdain recounts all his culinary adventures. The other Bourdain book is also recounting his life but does so entirely with quotes from family, friends, coworkers.

BOOK EXCERPT - This time the excerpt is from Down and Out in Paradise: the Life of Anthony Bourdain by Charles Leerhsen.

Posting from this playthrough more often than the others at the moment because there's just more going on in the main character's life right now. Different books have different busy times.

IRL TIME/PLACE - 1968, Leonia, New Jersey

Similar music vibes

Similar music vibes I’m looking for songs that sound similar to these- I like the vibe (this is going to sound dumb) of walking into a cheer competition like the Bring It On movie, or walking into Pageant competition like Miss Congeniality movie. I like the big trumpets. There she goes- The Gateway PeopleAm I the same girl- Barbara Acklin Where the pathways meet- Sun RaBackstory: getting together songs for cocktqil hour at my upcoming wedding, heavily inspired by the 70s, but doesn’t have to be from that time period as long as it fits the vibe.

Barbara Aklin

Remembering Barbara Jean Acklin on the day of her birth, soul singer and songwriter, who was most successful in the 1960s and 1970s. Her biggest hit as a singer was "Love Makes a Woman". As a songwriter, she is best known for co-writing the multi-million-selling "Have You Seen Her" with Eugene Record, lead singer of the Chi-Lites. She continued her successful writing partnership with Eugene Record. Impressed by the monologues on Isaac Hayes' album Hot Buttered Soul (1969), Record and Acklin wrote "Have You Seen Her", which was originally an album track on the Chi-Lites' album (For God's Sake) Give More Power to the People (1971) before being released as a single. It reached no. 1 on the R&B chart and no. 3 on the US pop chart, and twice made the UK top ten (no. 3 in 1972 and no. 5 in 1975). In 1990, the song became a top ten hit again, when recorded by MC Hammer. Record and Acklin co-wrote several other successful songs for the Chi-Lites, including "Stoned Out of My Mind" (R&B no. 2, 1973), "Toby" (R&B no. 7, 1974), and "Too Good To Be Forgotten" (UK no. 10, 1975).
