Charlene Marilynn Oliver (née D'Angelo; born June 1, 1950), better known mononymously as Charlene, is an American easy-listening and R&B singer best known for the song "I've Never Been to Me", which, initially being a commercial flop upon its original release in 1977, became a worldwide hit upon a re-release in 1982 and has remained an enduring adult contemporary music staple.
When the song was revived in 1982, the version being played on radio was the take with the monologue (from the Prodigal LP Charlene, P6 10015S1). This version was the one Motown re-issued, not the Songs of Love single version from 1977 (Prodigal, P610018S1). [6] [7] The song was never actually re-recorded by Charlene in 1982. [citation needed]
