"Take Me Home" was originally recorded by American singer and actress, Cher. The song was released as a single in 1979 and became Cher's first top ten single in the United States in five years, since "Dark Lady" in 1974. It would be her last for almost another decade, until "I Found Someone" in late 1987. "Take Me Home" hit #8 on the Billboard Hot 100, #21 on the Hot Soul Singles chart and #2 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart. The single also charted in Canada and Norway, peaking at #10 and #9 respectively. In 1979, the RIAA awarded Cher with a Gold certification for the album for sales of over 500,000, and a Gold certification for the single for sales of over 1,000,000. House heads or dance music fans into post disco music would be horrified by this post, but its an enduring classic, always fun to hear (unlike her massive pop hit 'Believe') and justified as a top 1000 dance classic. Top 100, no. Top 500, nope. Top 750, uh no. But maybe, just maybe, its in the top 1000. Its in mine. And so similar to the fun classic France Joli/Come To Me. Wonder why??????
