Escapade - Janet Jackson

'Escapade' was inspired by the Martha & the Vandellas 1965 single 'Nowhere to run', which Jackson originally intended to remake, but instead choose to record a new song with a similar feel after a suggestion from producer Jimmy Jam.

When released as the third single from her 1989 album 'Rhythm Nation 1814', the song peaked at number 1 in the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks in March 1990. The single also reached number 17 in the UK singles chart and number 13 in the Dutch Top 40.

My collection: 7" single no. 1191
Found: Melody Maker, Den Haag, March 2, 1990
Cost: 6 guilders
Tracks: 'Escapade' / 'Escapade (instrumental)'
