Can someone with insight in the subject insert information from this text

1977 she reached number 97 on the Hot 100 singles chart with "I've Never Been to Me" (written by Ron Miller), but was unable to build on this success, and was dropped from the Motown roster in 1980. Charlene moved to the United Kingdom and had left the music business, until, in 1982, Tampa, Florida disc jockey Scott Shannon, then at WRBQ-FM, started playing "I've Never Been to Me". Audience reaction was impressive, and spread quickly, resulting in the song's re-issuance by Duncan's label. The re-released single would go on to peak at number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, also hitting number 1 on the UK Singles Chart in the summer of 1982.

Tone

The tone is confused in a paragraph like "Charlene did three versions of the song, the initial version of which was actually the second version recorded.". If the initial version is the second version recorded, was the first recorded version ever issued and if so when? And what about the third one? Moreover, what is intended by "version"? If the status of version refers to a pre-recorded song structure (i.e. a song with a differing lyric part) this needs be clarified. 212.162.117.66 (talk) 10:00, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Atricle is melodramatic, not a fit for Wikipedia. 72.79.207.149 14:45, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the tone is slightly subjective, but hardly 'melodramatic'. The main problem is it is just repeated information from the 'I've Never Been To Me' entry. Why have both? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.23.146.66 (talk) 21:39, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"After this, as it is often said, she seemingly fell off the face of the earth." Personally, I wouldn't call the writing "melodramatic," especially when "amateurish" and "eyeroll" are much more accurate. 108.18.7.217 (talk) 03:59, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Charlene-Never Been to Me.gif

Image:Charlene-Never Been to Me.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Edit needed

Happened to come across this page by chance and read it in horror! Quote: "Charlene is presently married and runs a sweet shop in Ilford, Essex, England. She is still hoping to make it in the modern pop era, but it seems clear that she won't be getting any more number 1's considering her last one was 26 years ago. Charlene has a pet dog called Sam." Who wrote this?? Is it vandalism - or is somebody actually putting this forward as an encyclopediac entry?--Tuzapicabit (talk) 00:04, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal for section

Proposal to merge the section The success of "I've Never Been to Me" to the article I've Never Been to Me because the subject in question (the album) is the same. I will probably do the merger myself if there are no objections over the next few days.-Samuel Tan 07:45, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
