"Am I the Same Girl?" is a popular song written by Eugene Record and Sonny Sanders. First recorded in 1968 by Barbara Acklin, "Am I the Same Girl?" had its most successful incarnation via a 1992 remake by Swing Out Sister, recorded for the album Get in Touch with Yourself. The group's vocalist Corinne Drewery has acknowledged Dusty Springfield as a major influence; however, it was a chance hearing of the original Barbara Acklin version at a Manchester disco specializing in Northern soul that convinced Drewery and her Swing Out Sister partner Andy Connell to remake "Am I the Same Girl?".

I still love Swing out Sister’s ‘Breakout’. Man that was an exhilarating song.

It was a bigger hit as the instrumental Soulful Strut.

Based on Soulful Strut...great song!
A similar singer who was around at the same time was Basia.
Tight players. “Breakout”
Can you spell Basia’s last name?
Not without writing it down first. I couldn’t pronounce it either.
Trzetrzelewska.
It’s pronounced just like it’s spelled. ;)

Our first child was born in 1986 and we had bought our house only a couple years earlier, so we had just about quit listening to music. I remember hearing these songs on my ten minute commute, but had no idea who did them! I just watched the “Breakout” video you linked for the very first time! Cool video...so upbeat and happy. Thanks for adding that link.
I love seeing words to music......never knew that instrumental had words....;).......I still love “Breakout”......
That album has a lot of good songs and I still listen to it.
I know, it was a good album.
Btw, I know her name is Astrud the computer changed it. I love her music.
