The lead single was "Down by the Water", which landed the singer a Top 20 hit in Austria.[2] It was also covered by French singer Joe Dassin as "La vie se chante, la vie se pleure", in German by Christina Harrison ("Ein leeres Zimmer"), and in Dutch by Frank & Mirella (Na regen komt zonneschijn). The second single, "(Boogie Woogie) Dancin' Shoes", became Barry's biggest commercial success in early 1979, peaking at No. 7 in her native Canada,[3][better source needed] Top 20 in Belgium & Sweden,[4] and her third Top 10 hit on Billboard's Dance Club Songs chart.[5]
The album received a belated release in the US in the summer of 1979, retitled Boogie Woogie Dancin' Shoes and featuring a different track listing to the European version, dropping "Down by the Water", "I Wanna Be Loved by You" and "Love of the Hurtin' Kind" (issued as the B-side of "Dancin' Shoes" instead) in favour of an extended "Dancin' Shoes" and the inclusion of "Forget About You". The album was the first of a two album deal for Chrysalis Records.
Outtakes from the album include: "Sunshine Love" (Korduletsch, Evers, Keith Forsey), released as the B-side of the "Boogie Tonight" 12-inch single in Canada; "American Hearts" (Frank Musker, Dominic Bugatti), covered the following year by Billy Ocean; a cover of Umberto Tozzi's "Ti Amo"; and "Who Gave Me Love" (Korduletsch, Evers, Barry), all included on a German compilation album in 1980.[6][better source needed] The full-length version of the title track, a cover of Marilyn Monroe's signature tune, was featured on the B-side of the "Dancin' Shoes" 12-inch single.
