Cherrelle fragile handle with care


Fragile is the debut album by American singer Cherrelle. It was released on April 8, 1984 by Tabu Records and was the first of four records for the label (she would leave Tabu after the release of 1991's "The Woman I Am").

Contents

The album was mostly written, arranged and produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis (a/k/a Flyte Time Productions), and, under their guidance, she scored a smash R&B hit with "I Didn't Mean to Turn You On". The song reached number eight on the US R&B chart and number 79 on the Billboard Hot 100.
