I've Never Been To Me
Charlene Oliver, with Jordan Paramor
We all know the song. We've all sung it. And now she's back: the first white woman ever to be signed to Tamla Motown, the singer behind that song, Charlene Oliver.
Charlene's story really is one of rags to riches to rags to...a wonderful comeback in 2008, with the re-release of I've Never Been To Me in a new dance version with cult Club outfit EyeWitness. This memoir reveals all, from her early days in LA when Berry Gordy spotted her working in a diner, to the shock when I've Never went global in 1982. Along the way, we meet the great Motown stars such as Stevie Wonder and Diana Ross, and we discover the heartbreak at the heart of that song.
Charlene is an iconic singer, and with her forthcoming appearance on the West End stage in Andrew Lloyd Webber's version of Priscilla Queen of the Desert, her name is back in lights!
