The Brief:
In November of 2010, I posted a 12” of “Jump Start” by Natalie Cole that featured “3 New Jump Start Remixes”. I’d had that 12” since 1987 and just assumed that was all there was. Then comments started coming in about other mixes. So, I started doing a little searching and found out that this 12” also existed and I picked up a copy at my first opportunity. So, here we are almost 18 months later with the original remixes of the track that Reggie and Vincent Calloway wrote and produced for Natalie.
The Billboard Charts:

| Hot Black Singles | 6/13/87 | 2 | 20 | |
| Hot Dance/Disco | 8/15/87 | 28 | 8 |

More Calloway connection! I Wanna Be Rich coming soon?
Yeah, I remember you posting that previous version of Jump Start. And this is the one that gave Natalie her second wind in the Hot 100, paving way for a string of beautiful ballads and hot jams (even though she loated Pink Cadillac)
Happy weekend, Richie!
Sorry, the Calloway record isn’t ready but it is in “production”
Thank you very much for taking the time to process these classic vinyl records of yours!
You betcha
Hi, pressing on the FLAC button results in ‘file not found’?
I am downloading it right now. Maybe a glitch? Try again?
