I Wanna Be Loved by You is Claudja Barry's third studio album, released in November 1978 by Lollipop Records.

Release

The lead single was "Down by the Water", which landed the singer a Top 20 hit in Austria.[2] It was also covered by French singer Joe Dassin as "La vie se chante, la vie se pleure", in German by Christina Harrison ("Ein leeres Zimmer"), and in Dutch by Frank & Mirella (Na regen komt zonneschijn). The second single, "(Boogie Woogie) Dancin' Shoes", became Barry's biggest commercial success in early 1979, peaking at No. 7 in her native Canada,[3] Top 20 in Belgium & Sweden,[4] and her third Top 10 hit on Billboard's Dance Club Songs chart.[5]

The album received a belated release in the US in the summer of 1979, retitled Boogie Woogie Dancin' Shoes and featuring a different track listing to the European version, dropping "Down by the Water", "I Wanna Be Loved by You" and "Love of the Hurtin' Kind" (issued as the B-side of "Dancin' Shoes" instead) in favour of an extended "Dancin' Shoes" and the inclusion of "Forget About You". The album was the first of a two album deal for Chrysalis Records.

Outtakes

Outtakes from the album include: "Sunshine Love" (Korduletsch, Evers, Keith Forsey), released as the B-side of the "Boogie Tonight" 12-inch single in Canada; "American Hearts" (Frank Musker, Dominic Bugatti), covered the following year by Billy Ocean; a cover of Umberto Tozzi's "Ti Amo"; and "Who Gave Me Love" (Korduletsch, Evers, Barry), all included on a German compilation album in 1980.[6] The full-length version of the title track, a cover of Marilyn Monroe's signature tune, was featured on the B-side of the "Dancin' Shoes" 12-inch single.
