'Turn the Beat Around' broke on Top 40 radio in Boston in May, almost immediately topping the charts there. The title cut, a Schatz original, became a #10 disco hit but another album track, 'Turn the Beat Around,' began to build 'buzz' and was expediently released as a single, topping the disco charts on March 20, 1976. Despite that track's failure, RCA green-lit Schatz's producing Robinson's debut album Never Gonna Let You Go. Schatz invited Robinson to cut some demos including a remake of the Foundations' 'Baby Now That I've Found You' which became Robinson's first solo release. Warren Schatz, a producer/engineer with RCA Records, was struck by Robinson's voice and saw her potential as a disco-oriented artist. In 1975, Robinson was providing vocals at a New York recording session for the album Many Sunny Places by Scott Fagan, a singer with whom she had performed in Greenwich Village clubs.
