Gloria Estefan - Turn the Beat Around

C

carolinaradio

OK, this seems to be a question I can NOT get an answer for anywhere.

Estefan remade Vicki Sue Robinson's version from the late 1970s in 1994? I think. EVERY AC I have heard that is playing Estefan's version plays a different version than you find online.

The only version I can find online is the main one, I guess - very produced, synth-sounding, electronic, conga, etc....different sounding than the original. However, the ACs I hear playing the '94 version by Estefan are playing a more normal, calm version that sounds more like VSR's but it's Gloria's voice and slightly different music. None of the produced-type stuff as what I find online. Am I making sense? Was there a radio-exclusive version of this song released? Can it be obtained anywhere? Thanks.
 
The version you hear on AC stations was primarily the version played on radio in 1994, I believe. It's the 7" version. The version you find online is the Album Version, I believe. I found a used CD maxi-single on Amazon that had the 7" version on it. Hope that helps!
