For a project I'm doing that involves songs with names in the titles (Bobby Is My Baby, Carlena, etc., etc., etc.), I'm stumped on X and Y name records. Can anyone think of a soul, R&B, blues, funk, or gospel record that has a male or female name in the title or lyrics that starts with an X (probably a lost cause) or a Y (Yvonne, Yvette, Yolanda, Yul...?)

Thanks!

    Blimey, was that really 20 years ago. I actually put this out on a label called Streethype. Fantastic record which still sounds fresh to me. And Xavier ft 4 Real does fit the remit doesn'

Smokey Robinson - Madam X

Simples ;)

I think this is the best suggestion so far. But I think the name is supposed to start with the letter X. I guess it does in this case because Madam isn't part of the name.

Yvonne is the title of the B side to Jerry Williams- If You Ask Me

Chip Tyler's cover of "If you ask me" has the same B-side, but it's titled "I love you Yvonne".

I have the 45. I can record it onto mp3 and give you a link to it if you want. (Won't get time to do this 'til Friday 20th now).
