Sharon Redd | "Beat The Street"

[Deleted]

This was Sharon's biggest R&B hit, despite missing the Top 40 on the R&B chart. However it was a major club hit and remains a popular club song from the early 80s. Still gets a lot of play during garage mixshows on Urban AC stations. She had a handful of wonderful club songs despite never really having major success on the R&B charts. Sharon unfortunately died from AIDS-related complications in 1992.

The video for "Beat The Street" is a horrible, low budget mess! She's wandering around the streets of San Diego mouthing on and off to the lyrics.

lmao at the video, but this is a jam. I love playing this on vinyl.

Her best song.  Often heard this on an old school internet radio station based on 80s R&B/Dance station WBMX 102.7 in Chicago many years ago.  Usually heard this during old school WBMX-style mixes.
