"Sweet Thing" is a soul single that was first a hit with Rufus featuring Chaka Khan when they recorded the song in 1975, eventually reaching number-one on the R&B singles chart and number five on the pop chart. The song was co-written by Khan (For her then husband, Richard Holland) and Rufus band mate Tony Maiden and became one of the band and Khan's signature songs.
Eighteen years later, in 1993, the song was covered by R&BsingerMary J. Blige who had a version that was a top forty hit on both sides for a second time with it reaching number twenty-eight pop and number-eleven R&B. In 1997, contemporary jazzsaxophonistBoney James did a cover of the song, included on the album titled Sweet Thing. The album's title track included background vocals by original co-writer Tony Maiden.
Khan recorded it again for the New York Undercover: a Night at Natalies soundtrack, released in 1998.
Initially, Khan disliked Blige covering it but eventually Khan befriended Blige and the two singers later sang the song together during a VH-1Divas Live concert in 2003.
"Sweet Thing" or "Sweet Thing/Candidate/Sweet Thing (Reprise)" is a suite of songs written by David Bowie for the album Diamond Dogs. Recorded in January 1974, the piece comprises the songs "Sweet Thing" and "Candidate" and a one-verse reprise of "Sweet Thing."
In the opening line, "Sweet Thing" contains the lowest note Bowie had recorded in a studio album (C2) until "I Took a Trip on a Gemini Spacecraft" for the album "Heathen" (2002), where he growled the word "Well" (G1) towards the end of the song.
Bowie recorded a track with the same title, "Candidate" – but no musical similarity to the Diamond Dogs song "Candidate" and only a few words of lyrics in common – during the first several days of January 1974. It was unavailable until 1990 when it was released as a bonus track on the Rykodisc reissue of Diamond Dogs; it also appeared on the bonus disc of the 30th Anniversary Edition of Diamond Dogs in 2004.
"Tragic Moments/Zion/Aladdin Vein"
A track now referred to as "Zion" has also appeared on bootlegs under the titles "Aladdin Vein", "Love Aladdin Vein", "A Lad in Vein", and "A Lad in Vain". Incorporating parts reminiscent of "Aladdin Sane" and what would become "Sweet Thing (Reprise)" on Diamond Dogs, this instrumental piece was generally thought to have been recorded during the Aladdin Sane sessions at Trident Studios early in 1973. However a recent estimate places it alongside recordings for Pinups later that year, as a preview of Bowie's next original work, leading author Nicholas Pegg to suggest that it "perhaps ought to be regarded more as a Diamond Dogs demo than an Aladdin Sane out-take". A 1973 article about Bowie recording Pinups in France accurately describes the song, which seems to confirm Pegg's theory:
[verse 1] I want your love, but you're not taking offers. I should have known better than to give you my only heart. I can't let you hold me down just like you used to. Should've known better than to give you my only heart [Bridge] What you gonna do 'bout it x3 [Chorus 1] I don't want to dance motherfucker, but your giving me no choice, giving me no choice.
