Misc = "The Woman In Me" is the third and final single from Donna Summer's self-titled 1982 album. This lush slow jam returned Donna to the top forty and became a sizable hit on the A/C(#17) the pop(#33) and r&b(#30) charts. During the course of the song, Donna alternates between her soft bedroom voice and an amazed cry-out. Here Quincey Jones' production and Donna's vocal combined to create recorded perfection. Interesting to note, R&B Legend James Ingram contributed on background vocals. In North America, the single was also released on a 12" blue vinyl picture disc featuring the album cover artwork on an enlarged paper label. Side two featured the song "Protection" (written by Bruce Springsteen) from the same album and the title track from the 1980 album "The Wanderer".

Cover versions
