You can’t keep coming in and out of my life...



Taana Gardner is an American singer who began her artistic career at a very young age when she joined the Harlem Children's Theater Group at the age of 11.


She was later found in the musical Land of the Egyptian, then in the Dance Theater Of Harlem and the National Black Theater.


It was at the very end of the 70s that her career took off with the release in 1979 of a first Single called "Work that body", then "When you touch me". Two Singles that were a hit in the United States and projected her to the forefront of the scene in a rather significant way.


But it was especially at the very beginning of the 80s that the singer would achieve the Holy Grail with the release in 1981 of the enormous title "Heartbeat", a Single that would remain as the biggest success of her entire discography.


A feat that she will not be able to repeat later despite the release of other Singles.


To discover or rediscover...

Tracks :


1979...a first title which will allow the young Taana to get noticed right away and above all to obtain a first success which is very encouraging for the rest of the events...



1979...a sequel that will meet with exactly the same level of success as its predecessor, which can only confirm all the good things we could think of the young singer...



1979...a beautiful and BIG year 1979 which also saw the release of her one and only opus from which this new title will be taken...



1979...all the tracks from this new opus will not be released as Singles but it would have been a shame to ignore them, that's for sure...



1979...an ideal start to her career in any case, and one which positioned her ideally for the transition to the 80s. At least we hope so...



1981...the end of the 70s saw her blossom and then reveal herself in a certain way, but it was the beginning of the 80s that would consecrate her to the height of her hopes. She simply signed here the biggest success of her - short - career and at the same time offered herself a direct ticket to posterity. HU-GE !



1981...this new title will not equal its predecessor in terms of success obtained but will still come out on top, it must be said...



1988...then nothing for 7 years ! While everything was going perfectly well for the singer, here she is disappearing from the radar screens in a way that is at the very least incomprehensible...



1991...a huge air hole from which she never really recovered in the end, even if she came back sporadically...



1992...she had everything she needed to have a career worthy of the name and above all, one that was probably longer than it would end up being...



1998...but fate decided otherwise and she would never manage to repeat the feat achieved at the beginning of the 80s...
